A teardrop explodes

It's not a teardrop, it's an amulet made of glass and filled with water from the holy well at Ballyvourney, Co. Cork which is dedicated to Gobnait, Goddess of bees and sent to me with such love and thoughtfulness from Freespiral. 
I am so touched, so grateful.
And if I should choose to think of it as a teardrop from Ireland, then what harm?
No-one will taste the water sealed inside to know for certain if it is salt or sweet.
