Howlite Necklace - Shape: Baroque Description of the Howlite necklace - Baroque Howlite is a white stone with gray to black veins that closely resembles the appearance of white marble. It belongs to the group of calcite and is composed of magnesium carbonate whose formula is MgCO3. Its hardness is 4 on the Mohs scale and its crystal system is said to be rhombohedral. Howlite is sometimes found under other names such as howelite, turcite, white turquoise or even silicoborocalcite. Howlite, compared to most crystals, takes its name not from one of its physical characteristics, but from the person who discovered it in 1868: the scientist Henry How. It was miners working in a gypsum quarry in the Bay of Fundy in Canada who noticed this stone and then brought it to the chemist. Initially named "silico-boro-calcite" by the care of the geologist, it was then renamed "Howlite" in his honor by James Dwight Dana, an American mineralogist. Unlike many minerals, howlite has gone rather unnoticed in history. It is assumed, however, that its rarity made it a precious stone in the eyes of the Native American peoples. It was thus named "stone of the white bison" and worn as an amulet during rituals for its protective virtues. When it arrived in Europe, this mineral was completely unknown and was therefore often used to make counterfeits of turquoise, a stone whose marbling closely resembles that of howlite. Today, howlite stone is widely used in jewelry, especially associated with silver, to make rings, earrings, necklaces... It is also used to make decorative objects. Howlite is also widespread in lithotherapy for its many actions on the mental, physical, but also spiritual level. Howlite deposits are found on the American continent in Canada, the United States and Brazil, but also in Europe in France, Italy, Austria and Germany.
