Howlite

An Introduction to Howlite

In 1868, Howlite was discovered by Canadian chemist, mineralogist, and geologist Henry How in Windsor, Nova Scotia. The mineral was creating difficulties for miners in the local gypsum quarry, so they brought it to the attention of How. He named the new mineral silico-boro-calcite, but it was later named Howlite in his honor.

Howlite is commonly found in the form of opaque, irregular white nodules with thin web-like patterns of grey or black. Howlite crystals, being rare, are only found in a few localities worldwide. After its initial discovery, Howlite was also found in the Sierra Pelona Mountains of California, and in Iona, Nova Scotia. The Howlite crystals found in Iona are often colorless, white or brown and can be translucent or transparent.

Howlite is frequently used in its natural state in small carvings or jewelry ornaments, but its porous nature allows it to also be easily dyed to imitate other minerals. A common mineral it is used to imitate is Turquoise because it shares a similar veining pattern. It is sometimes referred to as “white turquoise” or “white buffalo turquoise” since it is used in similar jewelry. Since Howlite has different properties from Turquoise, it is important to verify which one you are purchasing, so that you receive the benefits you want to experience.
