Howlite

A natural stone that exudes pure elegance and symbolism. Belonging to the Calcite family, this borate mineral is known for its chalky white appearance and dark veins, symbolizing patience and perspective. Howlite is sometimes known as the Imitation Stone as traders would dye it to mimic the popular Turquoise. Native Americans revered this stone for its lithotherapy powers and used it to create protective talismans and perform rituals. Some even called it the White Bison stone, a reference to its rarity and purity, just like the sacred white bison. While it may have few legends attached to it, Howlite remains a popular choice for ornamental purposes in the world of jewelry.
