Crystal pieces and Crystal lamps are naturally formed and carefully extracted; however, they often can have imperfections, inclusions, druzy pockets, what appear to be cracks or roughness, and can have variations in color.  This is to be expected with authentic, natural real crystals and gemstones.  While these may appear to be “imperfections” they are not.  Each of our crystals and gemstones are one of a kind, have a unique story and special character.  We appreciate the difference in each one of our special pieces.  We hand select each of our pieces for you and stand by their quality and authenticity and hope you too appreciate their uniqueness!

 Known as “The Calming Stone” due to the stones ability to calm the mind and spirit, howlite is usually a snowy or creamy white borate mineral with black or gray veins but has also less commonly been produced in light green or blue varieties.  Also dubbed “The Imitation Stone”, howlite’s commonality and porous surface brand it an ideal stone for many collectors to artificially color it to imitate natural turquoise, red coral, and lapis lazuli.  Often found in cauliflower masses with an unglazed state and porcelain like texture, howlite is soured in many locations around the world including Canada, Turkey, Mexico, Germany, Russia and the United States.  

History

Howlite was discovered by Henry How in 1868 in Nova Scotia.  How was a Canadian chemist and minerologist who founded the stone and coined the name Howlite Cilico-Borrow-Calcite.  It can to How’s attention when miners were complaining about a white stone that was getting in their way.  He took notice and soon discovered it was an undiscovered mineral.  Sometime after, a geologist by the name of Dwight Dana renamed the stone howlite.  Howlite was often used by Native American Tribes.  They often referred to it as the “White Buffalo Stone” or “White Bison Stone” due to its rarity, purity and beautiful white color like the white bison.  Native American’s often used howlite for talismans for rituals and protection.  They also believed howlite had curative powers for various ailments. 

Today, the stone is still revered for its many magical attributes. It has the ability to back us from an emotional ledge and offer us serenity and peace.  Focusing the eyes on a piece of howlite can transport us to another time or dimension.  Whether you chose to wear it for its beauty and properties or use it as an ornamental piece for the home and workplace, let howlite get to work and create serenity wherever it is.  Ideally, when placed in a tense home environment or workplace, howlite will do its work by soaking u negative energy and encourage calm communication and connection.  The spidery gray and black veins are seen by spiritual healers as intrusive thoughts that are quietly swept away by the magic of this stone.
