[content]
Howlite was first found in 1868 by Canadian scientist Henry How, after whom it got its official name. Due to its nondescript appearance and low prevalence in nature, this mineral is not particularly popular. Among our compatriots, the dissonant name does not add to its attractiveness.

Application of howlite
This jewelry and ornamental stone is most common in North America. On sale you can find various stone-cutting products from this mineral, as well as inexpensive, but very elegant jewelry.
Despite the noble color in its simplicity, this mineral in its original color remains of little demand. Typically, howlite products are painted in a variety of colors, sometimes given out as more expensive stones.
Most often it is used to imitate turquoise. In fact, these two gems are remarkably similar in appearance, if you do not take into account the color. And according to the photo, even a specialist will take howlite painted with bluish-green paint for natural turquoise. This is what scammers use. However, it is quite easy to distinguish a fake: a howlite product is easily scratched, while the color will become noticeable. But, of course, few dare to scratch the newly acquired expensive jewelry.

The name of howlite stone is unfamiliar to many, because it is often used as an imitation of more expensive minerals. It began to be used independently in jewelry only in recent years.
This mineral was discovered relatively recently - in 1868. It was found by geologist Henry Gova, after whom the mineral was named. However, you can also find other names: turkvenite, howlite, kaulite.
The small popularity of the stone is also associated with small volumes of production. About five deposits are known in the world: in Nova Scotia, the USA, Germany and Serbia, half of which have not yet been developed.
However, howlite stone is worth paying attention to. It makes beautiful inexpensive jewelry and figurines. It also has the ability to absorb and neutralize bad energy.
Chemically, it is calcium borosilicate. Most often found in the form of growths resembling sprouts of cauliflower of a dirty gray color. This form is explained by the fact that in the process of crystallization the mineral increases in volume, displacing other compounds. But some remain sandwiched between parts of the mineral. This creates a dark mesh.
The properties of the stone are described in the table:
The mineral has a high viscosity due to the large number of crystals tightly linked to each other.
The stone has a high porosity, it is susceptible to dyes. This property was noticed by jewelers, and they began to tint it, making imitations of more valuable minerals. Most of all, it looks like. Often, even white howlite is given out for it, claiming that it is a young turquoise.
Howlite of blue-green color has a separate name - turquenite and is the official imitation of expensive turquoise. Outwardly, it can be difficult even for a specialist to distinguish one mineral from another. We will tell you more about this later.
There is nothing wrong with such jewelry if the seller honestly reported the origin of the mineral. Such products are inexpensive, but they look no worse than with real turquoise. In addition, they have magical properties, which is not the case with plastic, glass fakes or artificial crystals.
However, other minerals also imitate them. The red color makes it look like, and the dark blue makes it look like. More and more often come across products made of raw stone: beads or bracelets. Less common are rings framed in cupronickel. Sometimes howlite is tinted with bright fantasy colors: fuchsia, green apple and others.
The healing properties of howlite
As a healing agent, the stone is little studied. Lithotherapists suggest using it to relieve pain. To do this, the mineral must be applied to the sore spot. Especially it helps with toothache, headache, joint, muscle pain.

You should not wear howlite to archers, lions, rams. It will make them dull and depressing. It will have a neutral value on the rest of the signs. But everyone can awaken the power of the stone with conspiracies. For this, it is not necessary to pronounce special words.
Conspiracy procedure:
- Clean the stone in running water or salt.
- Charge with the energy of the sun, moon and wind - hold the talisman on the window for a day.
- Before the ceremony, hold the stone in your hands, warm it with your warmth, imagine how it is filled with energy.
- Whisper your thoughts to the stone, talk about problems and goals.
It is important that no one interferes during this. You should also be in a good mood and well-being. Any extraneous thought can disrupt the energy of the stone.
Additionally, you can apply symbols depending on the faith: Slavic signs, runes, a Christian cross.
But even after that, the stone will not necessarily help. You need a strong faith in the action of the stone and an energetic connection with it. If the amulet does not cause any emotions, then it will be useless.
Howlite products
Howlite itself is almost never forged - there is no need for this. He himself is a fake.
It is difficult to distinguish it from turquoise. Some ways:
- not so shiny - after polishing it remains slightly matte, waxy;
- howlite is softer, which means it scratches more easily;
- dyed howlite fades over time. In the chips, an uneven distribution of color is visible.
You can also judge by price. Quality is expensive. If the price of beads is 500 rubles, then this is a fake. It is better to buy jewelry in trusted stores that value their reputation and can present a certificate for the product with a description of the origin of the stone and its processing.
Howlite is capricious in care. It cannot be dropped or hit. From this, he quickly splits. Also, it must be protected from mechanical damage and removed during sports and tidying up - scratches quickly appear on the stone. Particular care must be taken with colored stones. They can fade from the sun and water. In the summer, such products should not be worn again in the summer and should not be wetted unnecessarily.

How to distinguish howlite from natural turquoise and other stones
Often you can find cheap imitations of stones such as turquoise, malachite, lapis lazuli. Jewelry stores that are sensitive to their name usually educate customers about using imitation rather than natural stones in jewelry. Unfortunately, now there are a sufficient number of unscrupulous jewelers who can sell blue-colored howlite under the guise of turquoise at exorbitant prices. How not to be deceived when buying?
There are several tricks that will help to identify the differences between howlite and other stones:
- howlite jewelry has a porcelain sheen;
- unpainted white pores can be seen on the surface of the mineral;
- scratches may be visible on the decoration.
If the product has already been purchased, you can conduct a simple test: wipe the product with a cotton pad dipped in alcohol. If after that traces of paint remain on the cotton wool, then there will be no doubt - under the guise of a more expensive stone, a colored mineral was purchased.
Howlite can be distinguished from cacholong by hardness (in cacholong it is 6.5 versus 3.5 in howlite). Cacholong has a mother-of-pearl luster, its color is milky white, multi-colored blotches and patterns are rarely found. It can be quite difficult to independently determine the belonging of a stone, since both minerals are very similar.
A plain-looking mineral can be transformed by staining into noble turquoise or beautiful coral. Howlite's properties make it a versatile stone that suits almost all people.
One of the rarest and most mysterious minerals is howlite, a stone that can turn into turquoise, lapis lazuli or coral. And only an experienced jeweler will determine the true nature of the gem.
The stone has several names:
- howlite;
- howlite;
- turquenite;
- pressed turquoise;
- white buffalo stone.
In fact, the scientific name of the mineral is calcium borosilicate or silicoborocalcite. Howlite was discovered by historical standards recently, only 150 years ago. The very first samples of an unknown stone were discovered in 1868 during excavations on the Nova Scotia Peninsula in eastern Canada. The discoverer was the Canadian geologist-researcher Henry Gova. In his honor, a stone was named - howlite. Because of the dissonance for the Russian ear, it is often called howlite (from the English pronunciation of Henry How).
Stone-cutters call turquenite a blue-colored stone imitating turquoise. Another name is pressed turquoise.
The main mineral deposits are in the USA and Canada. Not so long ago, accumulations of howlite were discovered in Serbia and Germany. The largest specimen, weighing 0.5 tons, was found in California. There are stones whose weight exceeds 100 kg, and the size in diameter reaches several decimeters. But most often these are small spherical or flattened pebbles with characteristic dark veins.
Chemical and physical properties of howlite
Howlite deposits are formed at the bottom of sea or freshwater basins when water thickens and evaporates. In evaporite mines, salt solutions containing boron and calcium precipitate. As a result, conditions are created for the creation of howlite.
The chemical formula of the substance is Ca2B5SiO9(OH)5.
Physical properties of the mineral:
- hardness - 3.5 out of 10 on the Mohs scale;
- color - grayish-white;
- gloss - from glass to matte;
- opaque;
- specific gravity - 2.5 g / cm3;
- impurities - potassium, sodium;
- dissolves in acid.
The color of howlite varies from pure white (very rare) to gray or brownish with black and brown streaks. Under the influence of ultraviolet light, microscopic crystals of the mineral can emit a faint white or yellowish glow.
According to its structure, howlite is a porous, rather soft stone. These properties make it possible to carve figurines, pendants, balls for beads and bracelets from it and paint them in different colors. Most often, howlite is covered with blue paint, achieving maximum resemblance to turquoise. The imitation is so convincing that unscrupulous traders pass off a fake as a natural natural mineral.
The red coloring gives the howlite a resemblance to coral. Jewelers rarely use unpainted stone because of its unpresentable appearance.

How to distinguish a fake

- porcelain shine;
- unpainted white pores;

Despite the fact that howlite is a semi-precious stone, its cost is much lower than natural turquoise, coral or malachite.
