Message: <blockquote data-quote="dennishoddy" data-source="post: 3722671" data-attributes="member: 5412">Went to Superior Az today. Walked a couple miles into an rock formation that held Apache tears.Fact: the tears are obsidian glass particles blown from a volcanic explosion that gathered some ash while molten, hardening on their decent and being buried in the ash.One just has to find the right ash deposits to find the tears.Why are they called tears?Truth: The American Calvary chased an Apache war party into a canyon boxing them in. The Apache didn’t want to be captured so they rode their horses over a cliff to commit suicide.Legend: According to legend, when the Apache tribe women found out they had lost their husbands, fathers and sons in a tragic way, they cried day and night for a month or more. Their tears, upon falling on the ground, formed the oval-shaped crystals now known as the apache tears.For this reason, ancient lore believed that those who carry or own a piece of this stone should never need to cry again since the apache tribe women cried enough tears for all those who mourn.It is often used as a rubbing stone or during meditation. Apache tears are also fashioned into pieces of jewelry such as pendants, bracelets, beads, rings and earrings, not only for fashion but to also benefit from its metaphysical energy. This is why the apache tears are best known for their metaphysical use.That’s the legend.The material covering the tears is once again volcanic ash.it’s called perlite.It’s mined around here for two reasons. One is put into potting soil to help it retain moisture.The main buyer Is Budweiser, used to filter the water for their beer.[ATTACH=full]251347[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
