A recycled 45 caliber silver bullet shell casing holds a large citrine gemstone crystal point. I wrapped the casing with gold plated hammered wire. This comes with a 24 inch antiqued gold plated rope chain. This is a natural crystal that has been heat treated to bring out the dark amber color.

Citrine is a type of quartz that has iron impurities. The name “citrine” is derived from “citron”, a French word meaning “lemon”. It is pale yellow to golden or brownish orange in color. Brazil is the leading producer of citrine, but it can be found in Madagascar and Spain also.

Citrine energizes the mind and heart. It opens the mind to new ideas and promotes clarity of thought. It strengthens self-esteem, promotes balance and good cheer. Citrine is a great protective talisman. It aids in mental and intellectual functions and can balance and dissipate negative energy.

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.
