A recycled 32 caliber silver bullet shell casing holds an opal aura mystic quartz crystal point with an antiqued silver budded cross. This comes with a 24 inch antiqued silver plated chain. The quartz has natural inclusions and Lemurian lines.

The buds on the arms of this cross represent a flower that hasn't bloomed yet. They also symbolize faith, hope, and love.

The aura process is created by taking polished quartz crystals and infusing them with pure Platinum and other elements. Opal aura quartz coloring has iridescent flashes of blue, green, pink, and violet.

Opal aura quartz crystals can be used in meditation and also healing work. They enhance the properties of other gemstones and are a good stone to use in crystal grids. Aura crystals provide shielding and guard against negative energy. They help align and balance the chakras and can increase spiritual and psychic awareness.

The cross is an ancient symbol. It is often seen as the representation of the four elements, the four cardinal points, or the four parts of a human being - mind, body, soul and heart. It is also said to denote the union of the divine world (vertical bar) with the earthly world (horizontal bar).

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.
