Apache Warpaint

Apache War Paint is a dolomite that is colored by iron and copper.  This material is being mined close to an abandoned copper mine near Morenci, AZ which is north and east of Tucson.  The pattering and color of the stone reminded the miner of "war paint" since Native Americans, namely the Apache reservation, are near this area of mining and thus inspired the name.

Dolomite is the name of a sedimentary carbonate rock and a mineral. Vast deposits are present in the geological record, but the mineral is relatively rare in modern environments. Dolomite is used as an ornamental stone, a concrete aggregate and as a source of magnesium oxide.

Dolomite promotes altruistic actions and soothes sorrow.  It promotes original thinking.  Allows one to see and permit everything to happen just as it occurs.  It also gives stamina when one is managing hyper-active people, such that one does not either give-up or give-in to the actions.
