Legend has it that once upon a time the brave warriors of the tribe known as the Apaches, repeatedly raided the settlements of the colonists. It could not last forever, and one day early in the morning to a camp of Apaches raided the heavily armed squad, which consisted of military and infuriated volunteers. The Indians were caught off guard.
The colonists were determined and cruel, because already with the first shot had killed about fifty of the Indians. The remaining couple dozen took refuge on the top of a nearby cliff. Soon, however, and they were forced to part with life, but unlike their counterparts, voluntarily as soon as the Indians ran out of arrows, the men bravely rushed off the cliff directly into the stones in order not to be shot by their enemies.
Exhausted from grief and anguish for the dead, women of the Apache tribe were crying streams. And it so happened that their tears turned into beautiful minerals, which now can be found in the rocky lands of Arizona. That's the story.
By the way, in the mythology of our day, these stones are a special amulets that bestow on their loved ones, to those who were lucky in everything. People say that "tears of Apaches" are not only welcome, but also develop leadership skills, bolster courage. In North America believe that the owners of these minerals will ever shed the tears of bitterness and resentment.
