Apache Tears are known for bringing good luck to those who carry them and they bring good luck in business endeavors. In addition, they are good for spiritual grounding and psychic protection. they have strong vibrational energies that allow them to absorb negativity and cleanse sacred space. The name "Apache tear" comes from a legend of the Apache tribe: about 75 Apaches and the US Cavalry fought on a mountain overlooking what is now Superior, Arizona in the 1870s. Facing defeat, the outnumbered Apache warriors rode their horses off the mountain to their deaths rather than be killed. The wives and families of the warriors cried when they heard of the tragedy; their tears turned into stone on hitting the ground. It is said that whoever owns an Apache Tear Drop will never have to cry again, because the Apache Women have grieved and shed their tears for you. Therefore, they are often used for emotional grounding when a person is experiencing grief and emotional distress. Because of their superior absorption properties, they need to be cleansed periodically. To do this, simply smudge them with sage and leave in the light of a full moon for an evening. #apachetears #sacredspace #stones #arizonagems #arizonarocks #folklore #hoodoo #conjure #rootwork #creolemoon www.creolemoon.com
