White howlite is a stone belonging to the calcite group. It is composed of silicon, calcium silicate, and a significant amount of boron. More specifically, it is a hydroxylated calcium borosilicate. Its crystallization system is rhombohedral, meaning it resembles a type of cube with faces that are not square but rhomboid.

This stone is partly recognized by its white, opaque, and porous appearance. It has black veins that appear randomly. Similar to marble, white howlite has a significantly lower hardness. Indeed, its hardness is between 3.5 and 4 on the Mohs scale (which ranges from 1 to 10). Consequently, it is a soft and fragile stone. Furthermore, it is soluble in hydrochloric acid.

White howlite is found in borax deposits of dried lakes in desert regions. It is extracted in compact masses or irregular nodules, often mixed with gypsum or anhydrite.

This porous stone is unfortunately regularly used to imitate certain stones such as turquoise, lapis lazuli, or coral. It has the ability to absorb different hues and has been widely used by counterfeiters.

The history of howlite is very recent, as it was discovered by Henri How in 1868. Henri How (1828-1879) was an Anglo-Canadian chemist, geologist, and mineralogist. He found this stone in the Windsor mines in Canada. He named it silico-boro-calcite, but the mineralogist and geologist James Dwight Dana (1813-1895) named it howlite in homage to the person who first identified it.

The oldest texts mentioning white howlite stone are those of Native Americans. They called it the "sacred bison stone" or the "white bison stone." For them, white howlite was as rare as the white bison. They used this stone during sacred rites or as a healing stone. Indeed, they attributed protective and even curative powers to it. Thus, they made many amulets from white howlite to protect themselves from animals when they went hunting.

Nowadays, this stone is widely used in lithotherapy and jewelry. Many necklaces or bracelets are made with this white stone veined with black. Decorative objects made of white howlite can also be found.

The main deposits are in Brazil, Zimbabwe, Canada, the United States, Russia, etc.
