Howlite - tumbled medium

Howlite is a naturally occurring white mineral recognized for its distinctive grey or black marble-like veining. A calcium borosilicate mineral, Howlite was first identified in Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1868 and named after Canadian mineralogist Henry How. It is also found in the United States, Mexico, and Turkey.

Magical Properties & Uses

Howlite is associated with patience, calming the mind, emotional balance, and peaceful sleep. In modern crystal traditions, it is commonly used in meditation and practices focused on reducing anger, encouraging self-reflection, and developing greater patience.

Howlite is also popular in dreamwork and spiritual study. It can be carried as a pocket stone, placed beside the bed, or kept on an altar for intentions involving peace, understanding, and emotional stability.
