I combined a recycled 22 caliber silver bullet shell casing with a natural yellow heliodor crystal. This comes with a 24 inch silver filled chain. The crystal is pale yellow with iron inclusions, and is from Vietnam.

Heliodor is the greenish-yellow to yellow variety of Beryl. The name is from the Greek helios and doron, which means gift of the sun. Other types of beryl include aquamarine, bixbite, and emerald.

Heliodor has a warm aura that holds the energy of the sun. It can stimulate higher learning and enhance the ability to acquire knowledge and understanding. It can help with decision making and allows wisdom to overcome emotion in important situations. Heliodor is a stone of leadership and self confidence. It can also bring stability and relieve stress. Heliodor will protect you from psychological manipulation and the dark energies of other people. Carry one as a talisman to gain prospects of success and financial security.

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.
