Obsidian is a natural glass formed as a result of lava that cooled quickly. Apache tears were specifically formed by lava that was thrown up into the air, causing it to be less glassy and more rough in appearance.
The tears are thought to represent tears of grief shed by American Indians after the death of their sons and husbands from invading troops. It is said to ease and release pain, sadness and anger.
