Hello and welcome to Psychic Teachers.

I am your host Deb Bowen.

And I'm Samantha Faye.

And we're just so happy that you are with us on our monthly Q&A for our December edition of this show.

We love doing this show. We love answering your questions. We never get to them all, but we're so happy to be with you this month with our December edition of this show.

But before we begin to answer your questions, as you know, we have a crystal of the week, an animal person of the week, and probably a lot more information.

So Samantha, would you like to start with our crystal please?

Sure. Our crystal of the week is a passie tear.

And I wanted to, rather than telling you what this doing means for me, I wanted to read a quick little story if you all don't mind indulging me from firstpeople.us website.

It says the patchy tear is a form of black obsidian. It's a calming translucent stone found in Arizona and other parts of the United States.

There's a haunting legend about the Apache tear. After the Apache's had made several raids on a settlement in Arizona, the military regulars and some volunteers trailed the tracks of the stolen cattle and waited for dawn to attack the Apache's.

The Apache's confident and the safety of their location were completely surprised and outnumbered. Nearly 50 of the 75 Apache warriors were killed in the first volley of shocks.

The rest of the tribe retreated to the cliffs edge and showed death by leaping over the edge rather than die at the hands of the military.

For years afterward, those who ventured up the treacherous face of big pakao and Arizona found skeletons or could see the bleached bones wedged in the crevices of the side of the cliff.

The Apache woman and the lovers of those who had died gathered a short distance from the base of the cliff where the sands were white and for a moon they wept for their death.

They mourned greatly for they realized that not only had their 75 brave Apache warriors died but with them had died the great fighting spirit of the Apache.

Their sadness was so great in their burden of sorrow, so sincere that the great father embedded into black stones the tears of the Apache woman who mourned their death.

These black of civilian stones when held the light revealed the translucent tear of the Apache. The stones are said to bring good luck to those possessing them.

It said that whoever owns an Apache tear drop will never have to cry again for the Apache woman have shed their tears and placed yours.

The Apache tear drops are also said to balance the emotional nature and protect one from being taken advantage of.

It can be carried as an ambulance stimulates success in business endeavors. It is also used to produce clear vision and to increase psychic powers.

Black obsidian from which Apache tears form is a powerful meditation stone. The purpose of this gemstone is to bring light to that which is hidden from the conscious mind.
