Howlite is a silicate mineral found in evaporate deposits and was discovered at Tick Canyon California in 1868. In appearance it is white with fine grey or black veins in an erratic often web-like pattern and is opaque with a sub-vitreous lustre. Because of its porous texture howlite can be easily dyed to imitate other minerals especially turquoise because of the superficial similarity of the veining patterns. With natural turquoise becoming a rare mineral, dyed Howlite is an affordable substitute.
Blue Howlite is an aid to insomnia, especially when caused by an overactive mind. It helps to achieve your ambitions. Howlite strengthens memory & stimulates desire for knowledge. It teaches patience & helps to eliminate rage, pain & stress. A calming stone, Howlite calms communication & encourages emotional expression.
