These are RARE size polished Apache Tears! To make a tumbler polished Apache Tear that is 1 1/2 inch to 1 3/4 size requires a rough Apache Tear that is 2 inch size. Rough Apache Tears that are 2 inch are rare to find because they mostly only grow about 1 inch or smaller.
I have a friend who has been in the rock business for over 50 years and he has access to buy out entire collections from rockhounds in their 80's and 90's who are retiring from collecting. I was able to get about 200 rough Apache Tears that were 2 inch to 3 inch size. Another friend tumbler polished them for me.
You will receive one tumbler polished Apache Tears from the lot shown in the listing photos that is 1 1/2 inch to 1 3/4 inch in size.
Healing Properties
Apache tears 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.
