Howlite Meanings and Properties

​Howlite is made up of hydrous calcium borate and often creates nodules that look a lot like cauliflower heads.

It’s usually a white or light grey opaque and porous stone with grey, black, or brown veining that looks much like a spider web. It’s often dyed green or blue to resemble a Turquoise, or red to look like a Coral.

Howlite is also known by the names White Buffalo, Sacred Buffalo, Lapis Howlite, White Turquoise, Silico Boro Calcite and Kaolinite.

It was named after the 19th century mineralogist Henry How who first discovered it in Nova Scotia.

​The most notable location of Howlite is Canada, specifically in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and New Brunswick. But it can also be found in the USA, Russia, Germany, Mexico, Namibia, Pakistan, and Turkey.
