Description
We just love these beautiful White Howlite beads, dont you? Howlite is named for Canadian mineralogist Henry How, who first discovered the stone in Southern California in 1868. It is typically white or light gray with gray, black or brown veins running through it in web-like patterns. Because of its softness, Howlite can be easily dyed and is often treated to be blue for use as a substitute for turquoise. Howlite is known to be a calming stone and has a variety of names such as Khaulite, Silicoborocalcite, Winkworthite, White Turquoise, Sacred Buffalo, White Buffalo, White Buffalo Turquoise.
Please note that due to the nature of gemstones, each bead may have slight variations in appearance.
