Apache tears are nodules of obsidian -- a volcanic glass. These 'tears' were originally part of a mass of obsidian that experienced hydration. Hot water (or even groundwater) permeated the obsidian body and caused changes that resulted in the formation of perlite (see comments below). Scattered within the perlite are centers that were not hydrated, and remain obsidian -- these are the "Apache Tears". Perlite easily disintegrates when weathered, and the 'tears' are released.
Apache Tears get their name from a legend. As the story goes, the U.S. Calvary pursued a group of Apache men and trapped them at the edge of a cliff, overlooking Superior, Arizona. Rather than be captured, the men leapt off the cliff. Women of the tribe gathered to mourn their deaths, and the Great Father turned their tears into clear, black stones -- Apache Tears.

I live in a county dotted with airfields; Cardington's big airship hangars are about 5 miles from our home, while nearby Old Warden houses the Shuttleworth Collection of historic aircraft. Of course, Bedfordshire is where Glenn Miller was stationed during WW2 and from where he took his last flight.
Consequently, we often get exotic planes and helicopters flying over our house; from WW1 biplanes, to Spitfires, Hurricanes to Hercules and Chinooks to Lynxs. Yesterday we had the loud drone of Apaches on manoeuvres. Two kept circling over our heads during the afternoon. Pilots for the Army's Apache Squadrons are trained near Cranfield, Bedfordshire.
I only had my 70-210mm lens to hand and this was the best I could get.
