Quiet stones have their own charm, and howlite jewelry proves it: porcelain white threaded with fine gray veins, like ink washed over chalk. Its soft, matt surface on your wrist makes you want to slow down. We set this calm stone in clean, simple designs you can wear from morning to evening.
What howlite looks like
Howlite has a milky white base streaked with gray or black, and no two stones share the same veining. It feels matt, almost chalky, and pleasantly smooth to the touch. It's a soft stone (around 3.5 on the Mohs scale), which is why it polishes easily into neat round beads. Being very porous, it also takes dye well: blue-dyed howlite is often used to imitate turquoise.
Howlite meaning
Howlite is the stone of calm and letting go, one to reach for when you want to unwind after a packed day. It also stands for patience and being kinder to yourself. Keep it close for the moments when you need a breather.

Caring for howlite
Howlite is soft and porous, so avoid knocks, perfume and long contact with water, especially if it's dyed. A soft cloth is enough to clean it. Out of habit, many people rest their stones on a selenite plate or leave them overnight in moonlight to recharge: a little ritual, not an obligation.
