By chemical composition, howlite is a calcium borosilicate hydroxide. It was first discovered at Tick Canyon in Southern California in 1868. It was named after Henry How (1828-1879), a Canadian mineralogist who first described it.
Howlite is typically white or grayish white with fine grey or black or brown veins, often in a web-like pattern. It is opaque with a sub-vitreous luster sometimes described as porcelaneous. It is usually found in borax deposits in the desert clays of California.

I was very happy to receive the atone that was the one in the picture. I ordered another a d also received the exact one I saw. Very happy.
I love this website. I have been browsing for years and now can utilise the stones in jewellery. Sooo many stones and so little spare time to make them into beautiful things
I was pleased with the amount of information they offered along with the accuracy of such information. Navigating their website was effortless as well. Although, I wish they had a wider variety in a particular gemstone, I was satisfied overall.
Easiest website to find what I’m looking for as a starter gem collector. Many years in precious metals I decided to expand my interest. This website makes it easy to search exactly what I’m looking for with great description of what I’m purchasing.
