The Legend Behind the Name

The story begins in the 1870s with a band of Apache warriors cornered on a cliff in Arizona. Rather than surrender, they rode their horses over the edge. When the women and children of the tribe learned of the loss, legend says their tears fell to the ground and solidified into the dark, glassy nodules we now call Apache Tears. Whether the tale is historically precise or not, it sets the emotional tone of the stone: a guardian of sorrow, a witness to courage, and a promise that no grief goes unseen.
