White Howlite 8mm Cabochon
Howlite was discovered in Nova Scotia, Canada in the nineteenth century. It is an opaque stone which forms irregular nodules. Howlite is usually white or grey with a web like pattern of black marbling and has a sub vitreous lustre.
As howlite is quite a porous stone, it is quite often dyed a bright blue to imitate turquoise (sometimes known as turquenite) and is occasionally dyed a dark blue to imitate lapis lazuli.
Howlite is quite a soft mineral, measuring 3.5 on Moh's scale of hardness.
The price shown is for one white howlite cabochon, round 8mm
