Geological Information

Howlite is a calcium borosilicate hydroxide mineral that forms in evaporite deposits, where saline waters evaporate and leave behind layers of crystallised minerals. It was first discovered in 1868 near Windsor, Nova Scotia, by Canadian chemist and geologist Henry How, after whom the mineral was named. Howlite often occurs in irregular nodules that resemble cauliflower heads, with a white to grey colour streaked with distinctive dark veining. Its natural appearance has made it a popular specimen among collectors and enthusiasts.

Howlite belongs to the borate mineral group and is known for its porous structure. This feature sometimes leads it to be dyed to imitate more expensive gemstones such as turquoise, but natural white Howlite has its own appeal and unique energy. On the Mohs scale of hardness, Howlite ranks between 3.5 and 6, making it relatively soft compared to other decorative stones.

Mineralogical Characteristics

This Howlite specimen has been shaped into a terminated pencil form, allowing its natural veining to be showcased along clean, polished surfaces. The contrast between the bright white base and the darker veins creates a striking aesthetic. Polished Howlite is smooth to the touch and displays a subtle silky lustre, enhancing its ornamental qualities.

The termination at the point makes this specimen particularly suitable for display or use in energy practices. Crystal pencils are often chosen for their ability to direct and focus energy, and Howlite’s calming properties make this a perfect combination of form and function.

Healing and Spiritual Properties

Howlite is widely regarded as a healing stone associated with calming and awareness. It is believed to help reduce stress, ease pain both emotional and physical, and encourage patience. Many use Howlite in meditation practices to quiet the mind and foster clarity. As a stone connected with awareness, it is said to open pathways for spiritual growth and insight.

In crystal healing, Howlite is also linked with aiding sleep, reducing anxiety, and bringing balance to turbulent emotions. Its soothing energy aligns well with the purposeful shape of the terminated pencil, which is designed to channel healing vibrations in a focused direction.

Collecting and Display Value

Beyond its metaphysical properties, Howlite is admired for its natural patterns and aesthetic qualities. The striking white and grey contrast of this specimen makes it an eye-catching piece in any mineral collection or display. Its polished pencil form adds elegance, while also making it a versatile tool for both collectors and practitioners of crystal healing.
