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.

Gem select was a company we were just looking at their products and my wife liked her birthstone so we ordered it and when it came she was very happy with what she received and because of that she wants to order again to make earrings with the next order so Gem Select is the company we will be shopping from now on
