Kidz Rocks Obsidian Tear 1 lb Tumbling Raw Chakra Healing Stone Black Rock Mineral

These are rough Obsidian Tears ONLY for use in tumbler polishing machines. These are pieces that either have a very heavy perlite coating or are not nice rounded shapes or have chips. They are perfect for using them in your tumbler polishing machine but they are not very pretty as specimens.

Real Obsidian Tears only come from the Imerys Perlite Quarry in Superior, Arizona. That is the only location where obsidian nodules are found in a naturally rounded shape and have a smoky translucent color. All the other obsidian nodules that are not rounded and have a gray translucent color that other sellers are selling as Obsidian Tear are not the authentic Obsidian Tears.

The mine in Superior Arizona was recently locked down from any more collecting. The only way to get these is to find old stock. I recently purchased 500 pounds of old stock from a rock shop that closed their business about 10 years ago.

For every quantity of 1 ordered you will receive 1 pound of Obsidian Tears that are 3/4 inch to 1 1/2 inch around. All photos show a 1 pound lot.

Healing Properties
Obsidian Tears are a type of Black Obsidian, but they have a more friendly vibration than some of the other types of Obsidian. They are strong stones for grounding and protection, and to aid you to clear negative emotions that may be holding you back. Their strong energy works within the base or root chakra, where it will move excess energy down into the earth chakra for grounding with Mother Gaia.

Their energy within the sacral or navel chakra helps to aid the removal of disharmonious energies in relationships. They may bring through joy as they encourage you to feel more positive about life. Within the heart chakra their energy will assist the emotional body to heal, from old issues of an emotional nature.

Mineral Description
Obsidian Tears is the popular term for rounded pebbles of obsidian or obsidianites composed of black or dark-colored natural volcanic glass, usually of rhyolite composition and bearing conchoidal fracture.

They are a type of Black Obsidian Stone found in the south-western USA and Mexico. The meaning of their name comes from an American Indian legend. It was said that certain members of this tribe were pursued by the Cavalry, and although they fought bravely they were outnumbered. Rather than be captured they jumped off the cliff to their deaths. The distraught women of the tribe cried dark tears of grief, which fell to the earth, and formed into these dark strangely shaped stones. It is believed that their tears formed into reality as these unusual stones, so people will always remember what happened.
