Howlite is a borate mineral typically found in evaporite deposits, often forming in nodules with a distinctive grey veining over a white base. Its smooth, chalky texture and calming marbled appearance make it highly appealing for jewellery and decorative pieces. Historically, it was thought to aid in patience and contemplation. Metaphysically, howlite is believed to encourage calm, reduce stress, and support emotional expression, making it a wonderful stone for meditation and mindfulness practices. A soothing addition to any collection.
