From wikipedia: Apache tears are rounded nodules of obsidian (volcanic black glass) with diameter from about 0.5 to 5 cm. An Apache tear looks opaque by reflected light, but translucent when held up to light.

An Apache tear
The name "Apache tear" comes from a legend of the Apache tribe: about 75 Apaches and the US Cavalry fought on a mountain overlooking what is now Superior, Arizona in the 1870s. Facing defeat, the outnumbered Apache warriors rode their horses off the mountain to their deaths rather than be killed. The wives and families of the warriors cried when they heard of the tragedy; their tears turned into stone upon hitting the ground.
American singer songwriter Johnny Cash wrote lyrics entitled Apache Tears for his album Bitter Tears

Do these have holes drilled in them for stringing? Are they purple or black? The picture seems to show they are purple but I know how the colors can be deceptive in pictures.

Thanks for the question... they are black, and they are not drilled.
