A recycled 22 caliber silver bullet shell casing holds a natural blue apatite raw gemstone crystal. This comes with a 24 inch antiqued silver rope chain.

Strangely enough, apatite is used mainly in the manufacture of fertilizer, as it is a source of phosphorus. Some types of apatite do fluoresce under black light. The blue and green varieties of apatite are often used as gemstones. The blue variety is called moroxite. Moon rocks brought back by astronauts from the Apollo missions contain traces of apatite.

Apatite can heal the heart and the spirit. It increases self-confidence and helps to achieve higher levels of meditation and clarity. Apatite is also useful in the process of letting go of someone or something from the past that no longer has a place in your life.

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.
