This lariat style necklace was made using gun shells adorned with howlite hanging from a handmade chain with red howlite and genuine turquoise beads. Howlite is known for absorbing one's anger and rage while preparing the mind for new information and wisdom. Turquoise, on the other hand, is perhaps the oldest stone in man's history, the talisman of kings, shamans, and warriors. It is a stone of protection, strong and opaque, yet soothing to the touch, healing to the eye, as if carved from an azure heaven and slipped to earth.
