The legend behind this stone is that a tribe of 75 Apache indians fought US cavalry on a mountain overlooking what is now Superior, Arizona, in the 1870's.  Facing defeat, the outnumbered Apache warriors rose their horses off the mountain to their deaths rather then be killed.  The wives and families of the men heard the tragedy, they wept and their tears hit the ground turning to this black stone.
 
This story highlights how this stone assists us, it relieves deep sorrow and grief, it helps you sit with these deep feelings  and just ‘be’ with them.  As so often we hide these feelings and don't ‘feel’ them fully, and only when we do that we release them.
