A Rich Background of Howlite
Howlite was first discovered in the 19th century by Canadian chemist Henry How, after whom the stone was named. Originally used as a decorative mineral, Howlite has become a favourite among gemstone enthusiasts and jewellery makers due to its attractive veining and milky white to grey colour. Over time, it has been widely utilised as an affordable and elegant substitute for more precious stones like turquoise.
Legends and Stories Surrounding Howlite
In various cultures, Howlite is believed to promote calmness and patience. It is said that the stone’s soothing appearance metaphorically mirrors serenity and emotional balance. Some tales suggest that keeping Howlite close to you can help alleviate stress and anger, making it a popular talisman for those seeking peace of mind in turbulent times.
Healing Benefits Attributed to Howlite
Howlite is often used in crystal healing practices for its reputed ability to reduce anxiety and encourage restful sleep. Its tranquil hues are thought to help still an overactive mind, making it a perfect companion for meditation and mindfulness routines. Many believe that wearing Howlite jewellery can bring mental clarity and encourage expression of one’s emotions without the fear of confrontation.
Physical and Geographical Characteristics of Howlite
Formed mainly in sedimentary environments, Howlite has a Mohs hardness of approximately 3.5, making it relatively soft compared to other gemstones. It is typically found in locations such as Canada and the United States. The beads’ natural white base with grey veins is a hallmark of this stone, offering an elegant and understated appearance suitable for a broad range of jewellery styles.
