Howlite Gemstones

  • Hardness

  • Occurrence

    Named after the discoverer Henry How, a geologist from Nova Scotia. Howlite is found in Canada (Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, New Brunswick), and the United States (California).

  • Appearance

    White, and normally found in an opaque massive form, although there are extremely rare crystals of howlite. Very similar to datolite in appearance.

  • Enhancements

    White howlite is not enhanced. Howlite can be dyed to imitate other stones such as turquoise, lapis lazuli and others.
