Turquoise Gemstone Silver Bullet Jewelry Pendant

  • $ 2650

I have combined a turquoise gemstone bead with a recycled 40 caliber silver bullet shell casing. This comes with a 24 inch silver chain. The turquoise bead has been stabilized with resin. This protects it from dirt and can prevent fracturing.


Turquoise was among the first gems to be mined, and while many historic sites have been depleted, some are still worked to this day. Turquoise is often recovered as a byproduct of copper mining operations, especially in the United States. It has long been prized by Native Americans and holds strong symbolism for them.

Mt. Taylor in New Mexico, also known as Turquoise Mountain, is called “Tso odzil” by the Navajo. Legend says that this sacred mountain was fastened to earth with a stone knife and covered with a blue sky blanket decorated with turquoise.

Turquoise can fade in bright sun and is affected by the sweat and oil from your hands. This is probably why it is said that turquoise will change color when worn by someone who is ill, or why it is known for taking on the characteristics of the person who owns it. Much of the turquoise that is sold now is treated in some way such as stabilization or reconstitution because it is so porous.
