14Apr13 - Howlite

Although cauliflower probably isn't the first thing that pops into your mind associated with the gemstone howlite, they do actually have a connection. In its natural state, howlite is found in large cauliflower - like masses. It was originally named for Henry How, a 19th century mineralogist, who discovered it first in Nova Scotia.

Howlite can be found in green, white and blue.
It is a super-calming stone and many people use it to relieve stress of all kinds.
It makes an excellent antidote to insomnia due to an overactive mind

    Veins of black web-like streaks often are interlaced throughout the nodules, like beautiful marbles.

   Often seen in jewellery and fashion items.

Howlite teaches patience.

Place a howlite stone in your pocket to absorb your own anger - or another's anger that is directed toward you. It helps to overcome critical or selfish behavior.

Other healing properties includes
-Relieves insomnia
-Balances calcium levels
-Strengthens teeth and bones
