Boys don't cry. Neither do statues, nor robots, nor things that generally lack tear ducts. But, if you really want to crank up the pathos or despair, have something that can't cry shed a tear—perhaps saline, or perhaps some more appropriate liquid. Often effective, occasionally Narm. To count as Tears from a Stone, the tears should be one or a few and should be viewed as surprising or miraculous and played for pathos. Crying from anthropomorphic robots or magical creatures, for example, is usually just crying. However, if said robot or creature is normally stoic, but cries in a moment of vulnerability, it could also count as this trope. Cynical souls may explain away in much the same manner as Sand In My Eyes — rain or the like. Tears from a Stone may have magical properties, such as breaking a spell in much the same manner as a kiss. They may also be used to show that the "stone" is actually a living person who has been Taken for Granite. Darker examples may involve Tears of Blood. See also Unable to Cry, Single Tear. |

Inverted in homage to Norse myth in an early Thor issue of Journey into Mystery, Loki's first appearance in Marvel Comics. Loki is fated to remain imprisoned in a tree trunk until his plight causes someone to shed a tear. The people of Asgard are perfectly capable of crying—just not for Loki. However, Loki's long imprisonment eventually allows him to take control of the tree and make it drop a leaf into Heimdall's eye, causing him to shed a tear. | |

In the BBC comedy puppet-show-for-adults/sitcom, Mongrels, a guide dog is blinded and runs away fearing he will be turned into a collection box for a guide dog charity. At the end of the episode, the main characters wonder what happened to him and, as the credits roll, the camera pans to a dog-shaped charity collection box that cries a Single Tear. Mostly Played for Laughs. | |

Happens again in Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans. When Biscuit Griffon is killed, Mika's Gundam Barbatos appears to have tears on its face—it's really water that's sprayed up from the ocean, as they're battling on the beach, but it's perfectly timed. It happens again when Mika is about to execute Carta Issue, the person who killed Biscuit, whether it's Berserker Tears from Mika or Barbatos feeling sad is another question. | |

Monster Rancher: After the Giant Robot Melcarba is finally taken down, Genki laments how much good the ancient technology could have done if it hadn't been used to create mindless war machines. This is punctuated by a shot of the lifeless husk sitting in the rain, water running over its eyes in a way that makes it look as though it's crying. | |

Final Fantasy VII: The party finds Red XIII's petrified father, and Red XIII realizes that his father sacrificed himself to save the village, instead of running off like he'd thought all this time. After Red XIII pays his respects and the party heads off, a single tear emerges from the eye of the petrified Seto. It's sad at the moment, but when you think about it... And in Dirge of Cerberus, when Lucrecia sheds a tear within her crystallized stasis for Vincent, as a final testimony to the end of her tragic life. |

Deliberately used in The Pillars of the Earth; a mysterious rock is found that appears to weep at night due to some geological quirk. Jack, needing a miracle-performing relic to make his cathedral a success, carves a statue of the Virgin Mary and places the rock behind its eyes, and claims the statue is weeping for the sins of the world, in a not-very-subtle jab at Kingsbridge's various enemies. Naturally, stories quickly spread among the superstitious peasants of the statue healing the sick and performing other miracles. | |

In Android Kikaider: The Animation, Jiro (the titular android) can be seen shedding copious amounts of tears, despite the fact that robots obviously do not have tear ducts. Arguably a justified situation; not only is Jiro in possession of a conscience circuit which blesses him with a full spectrum of human emotion, but he now has to stand on the sidelines while his Love Interest is being traumatized for life by her Missing Mom. Turns out Mom was a Deep Cover Agent working for Big Bad Professor Gil, and only married Mitsuko's father in order to keep an eye on him and his robotics research. Mitsuko and her kid brother, Masaru, were just part of her cover. And if that wasn't bad enough, Gil has now given Mom orders to gun Mitsuko down before Jiro's very eyes. The experience of Mom holding a gun to her head is enough to give Mitsuko the Blue Screen of Death. It's when she softly whispers, "Please, Mother. Kill me," that Jiro's hurricane of emotions find their conduit. | |

Similarly, one mission in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin is to find a weeping statue. It's in the Nation of Fools, and when you examine it, it weeps blood. | |

Done for morbid laughs when Bayonetta, having just defeated the angel Temperantia, douses him in gasoline using a peeing cherub statue from a fountain that she lodged into a gasoline tanker. When the Vapor Trail goes out before reaching the payload, she exasperatedly shoots a bullet directly into the cherubs urethra, causing the gasoline to back up out of the eyes in a manner resembling Ocular Gushers as the whole thing explodes. | |

Gargoyles did this twice in the same flashback. First Demona sheds an off-screen tear right before she petrifies. Then, when she wakes up and finds her husband petrified, she leaves a tear on his forehead that makes it look like he was crying. Also done with Goliath during Hunter's Moon, when he thought that Elisa had died during his battle with the Hunters. |

In Final Fantasy VI, hold up the Odin magicite to the stone statue of the petrified queen in the Ancient Castle, and she'll cry a tear that transforms Odin (who she was in love with) into Raiden. Final Fantasy VII: The party finds Red XIII's petrified father, and Red XIII realizes that his father sacrificed himself to save the village, instead of running off like he'd thought all this time. After Red XIII pays his respects and the party heads off, a single tear emerges from the eye of the petrified Seto. It's sad at the moment, but when you think about it... And in Dirge of Cerberus, when Lucrecia sheds a tear within her crystallized stasis for Vincent, as a final testimony to the end of her tragic life. |

In one emotional scene in One Piece, the figurehead of the main characters' ship is splashed by a wave and appears to be crying along with its crew. There's also Brook. A living skeleton who outright stated he could not cry, bursts into tears upon learning his crew's beloved Team Pet was still waiting for their return. Word of God (who in this case has a track record of not always answering with total seriousness) Handwaves it by saying "Because even when his tears of sadness dry... his tears of joy can still flow." |

In The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel, the statue of Saint Veronica in front of the Bareahard Cathedral starts crying black tears, which is said to be a sign of a crisis in the world. While perhaps true, the immediate cause is a monster in the Bareahard Waterway, which polluted the fountain's water so that it melted the statue's material, thus making it look like it's crying. | |

In Leverage the team fakes a miracle by creating a statue that cries when it's touched by smoke from the candles. However, the statue isn't made of stone and the liquid it produces aren't tears, meaning that when the Vatican investigative team shows up to ascertain the veracity of the miracle, they would be found out almost immediately. | |

Doctor Who: "Doomsday": The cyberized Yvonne breaks through her programming and fights off the other Cybermen as they corner the Doctor, constantly repeating, "I did my duty for Queen and country." A drop of oil leaks from one of her eyes. Subverted with the Weeping Angels, who hold their hands over their eyes as if they're crying, but are actually making sure they don't look at each other (they turn to stone when they're being observed, and can only move when nothing's looking at them). The Angels are widely considered to be one of the most terrifying and evil aliens in the whole Whoniverse. In "Hell Bent", a Dalek trapped in what is essentially a Time Lord graveyard was shown with liquid coming out of the eyestalk as it begged for death. For context, Daleks are Scary Dogmatic Aliens shaped like tiny squids inside of mechanical battle suits whose real eyes are nowhere near the eyestalk. |

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, after Noah kidnaps Seto Kaiba's little brother Mokuba, he aims to escape the virtual world his father (and Kaiba's stepfather) created for him in Kaiba's body by defeating him in a duel. When Kaiba is about to defeat him, however, he used the kidnapped and now Brainwashed and Crazy Mokuba as a human shield to convince Kaiba not to attack. A very touching Tear Jerker scene results when Noah's control is finally broken and Mokuba runs towards his older brother, only for the both of them to be turned to stone by Noah moments before they touch...and a single tear that had been in Mokuba's eyes shed from the stone as the episode closed. | |

In Elfen Lied, just before the scene when Lucy confronts Kouta about her guilt over murdering his family, a raindrop symbolically runs from the eye of a jizu statue, looking remarkably like a tear. | |

Final Fantasy XIII: As Serah Farron is turned into a crystal, she weeps a single tear for her fiancé and sister. Also when fighting Cieth, who are basically big crystalline techno-monster things, you can get dropped items called "Tears Of Woe" or "Cieth Tears". This is pretty disturbing as cieth don't look human at all but they used to be people who failed their Focus. |

In Gods and Generals, General "Stonewall" Jackson breaks down into Manly Tears upon being informed of the death of the child Jane Corbin from scarlet fever. A watching officer remarks in surprise that he has never previously cried after the deaths of any of his comrades or men. Another suggests that he is "crying for them all". | |

In the Only Fools and Horses episode "The Miracle of Peckham", the statue of the Virgin Mary in the local Catholic church is seen to cry. Del uses this and his own salesman skills to raise money for the church. It turns out someone stole all the lead off the roof and the rain's getting in. And Del knew this; his "sense" of when the statue would cry was based on weather forecasts. | |

Giant Robo is another, crying a huge torrent of tears when it's almost destroyed by the Monster Sphere. It should be noted that this trope was also played for laughs in a comedic spinoff episode- instead of crying, Giant Robo suffers a nosebleed upon seeing an attractive IPO agent naked. |

In Kirby: Planet Robobot, after defeating the final boss, Kirby is left stranded in space with his Robobot Armor. The armor musters up enough of its own strength to eject Kirby from its pilot seat, shedding tears of coolant while doing so. In a post-mortem interview with the developers, they mentioned that this is meant to show that the armor has a heart formed from its special bond with Kirby. | |

Gravity Falls: Goldie, the malfunctioning Gold Rush themed novelty dispenser that Stan keeps in the Mystery Shack, drips a Single Tear of oil when Stan decides to throw him away. Given the nature of Gravity Falls, there's a bit of Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane involved here. | |
