Apache Tears are formed in rapidly cooled lava flows resulting in volcanic glass. they are a form of obsidian and hold great spiritual significance. they are said to be grounding, offer protection from negative energies, and cleanse grief. 

Copper, the great conductor and the metal of the magician amplifies the energies of the stones it accompanies. It is excellent for channelling and grounding, thus considered the conduit between heaven and earth. Copper has long been used to aid tissue repair, blood support, and increase vitality. The larger gauges of copper used in my pieces have been reclaimed from castaway wiring, supporting my eco-friendly mission; "Jewelry with a re-purpose!".
