Apache Tears:
Apache tears are translucent obsidian nodules that can be polished to a brilliant sheen. They are a challenge to polish because they tend to bruse in a rotary tumbler. This can be prevented by using a generous amount of plastic pellets (we use about 1/3 by volume) to cushion the tears. Pieces range from 1/4" (6 mm) to 1 1/4" (31 mm) in diameter.
