A 32 caliber silver bullet shell casing holds a natural water clear Arkansas quartz crystal laser cut point. I added a Bali beaded connector to the bail and oxidized silver plated star charms. This comes with a 24 inch oxidized silver plated chain. The quartz crystal has natural 3D inclusions.

The scientific community began studying quartz crystals as far back as the 17th century. When pressure is applied to a crystal, energy is released in the form of heat, light and electrical voltage. This is called piezoelectricity, and it was discovered by Jacques and Pierre Curie in 1880. This research suggests that there may be more to crystals than meets the eye.

Quartz crystal is the most abundant gemstone in the earth's crust. It is found on every continent. Clear quartz is considered a power stone and can enhance the metaphysical properties of other stones. Quartz Crystal has a similar vibration as humans. Using a crystal to meditate and wearing or keeping a crystal helps to a better understanding of yourself.

Quartz amplifies and directs energy and builds energy pathways. It can strengthen the energies of anything it is put with, and can be used to channel energy and send it out to other stones. The resonating quality is the reason that quartz was originally used in radios and other transmitters, and manufactured crystals are still used in electronic devices today.

An original Beautiful Bullets design. I have been creating bullet jewelry since 2009 and have designed over a hundred different styles and types. I use recycled bullet shell casings, metal filigrees, Swarovski crystals, natural gemstones and vintage glass. All of the bullet casings I use are recycled so please allow for variations and small imperfections.

I started my bullet jewelry line as a peace project, and I continue to donate part of the sale to different charities. I have sent donations to the Peace Corps, the Patriot Guard Riders, the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, the Sandy Hook School Support Fund, and the USO. Thanks to everyone who has purchased one of these designs and made that possible.
