Maybe it begins here:
"And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment." Luke 7:37-38
Were her tears of gold?
Jesus also wept
"Jesus wept." John 11:35
And I suspect that he is directing others to weep for the reasons he wept:
"And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children." Luke 23:27-28
But then after those tears sweating blood...
"And being in an agony
he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground." Luke 22:44
...sweating blood and opening the Way to Life, The tears would all be gone:
"For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." Rev 7:17
No more tears, not even gold ones... but Life!
