Mineralogical Profile: Howlite – Calcium Borosilicate Hydroxide
Howlite is a borate mineral first discovered in Nova Scotia, known for its milky white body colour and distinctive spiderweb-like veining. It is a relatively rare mineral, often forming in irregular nodules rather than well-defined crystals.
Key mineralogical characteristics include:
- Chemical Composition: Ca₂B₅SiO₉(OH)₅
- Colour: White to off-white with grey to black veining
- Lustre: Sub-vitreous to dull, but takes an excellent polish
- Transparency: Opaque
- Crystal System: Monoclinic
- Habit: Typically massive or nodular, occasionally forming tabular crystals
A Grade howlite is valued for its bright white colour, clean surface, and appealing contrast between the base stone and its natural veining.
Geological Formation and Natural Environment
Howlite forms in evaporite deposits alongside borate-rich environments, where mineral-saturated water leaves behind layers of borates, carbonates, and silicates.
Its formation process includes:
- Borate-Rich Solutions
- Mineral-laden waters deposit borates in sedimentary basins.
- Evaporative Conditions
- As water evaporates, boron-bearing minerals crystallise out, forming howlite nodules.
- Slow Mineral Growth
- Howlite develops gradually into rounded masses with characteristic veining caused by fractures filled with darker minerals.
- Sedimentary Layer Influence
- The mineral may incorporate slight impurities that influence the shade and pattern of its natural markings.
Howlite is primarily found in Canada, Mexico, and parts of the United States, with some of the most attractive nodular formations originating from California.
