A recycled 380 caliber silver bullet shell casing holds a polished Russian Shungite natural gemstone point. I wrapped the shell casing in gold plated wire and added a 24 inch antiqued silver rope chain.

Shungite is an ancient composite rock formation that was first discovered in the Karelian region of Russia near a small village called Shunga. The local residents have always had legends and stories about the mysterious restorative powers of the black stone. Shungite is a naturally occurring substance that has a carbon base. It is made up of many different elements including fullerenes which are cylindrical or spherical atomic structures named in honor of Buckminster Fuller. Shungite is thought to have been formed millions of years ago from petroleum and other sediments. It contains inclusions of many other different types of elements and minerals.

Shungite is said to have strong natural healing properties. These can include air and water purification, absorption of negative substances and protection and shielding from electric, magnetic, radiant and other energies. It is claimed to be an antioxidant and to have anti-inflammatory effects. It can increase resistance to illness and boost the immune system.

Metaphysically speaking, Shungite is a calming stone that can increase positive energies and help relieve stress and anxiety. It is a good stone to use for grounding spiritual energy and creating an aura of psychic protection. It can heal emotionally damaged people and help them to develop trust and understanding so they can move forward.

An original Beautiful Bullets design. I have been creating bullet jewelry since 2009 and have designed over one hundred different styles and types. I use recycled bullet shell casings, metal filigrees, Swarovski crystals, and natural gemstones.

Part of the proceeds is donated to charity. 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.
