Howlite History Mythology Information:  Howlite was first discovered in Canada in 1868 by Henry How.  At the time he named the new stone ‘slico-boro-calcite’ after what the stone was composed of, however it was later changed to Howlite after him.  Howlite is a very porous stone that can take on colour very well and so has been falsely sold as more expensive stones once it has been coloured.  Some of the more precious stones that are dyed Howlite include Turquoise, Lapis Lazuli and Coral.

Coloured Howlite is a White coloured stone that is either pure white or can have grey veins running through it.  More recently I am seeing Pink Howlite, Blue Howlite and a whole range of different colours – these have been dyed.

Howlite Metaphysical Healing Properties Information:  Howlite is a very calming stone that is fantastic to use when you are feeling any tension, anxiety, or stress over something.  Howlite is what I consider to be one of the best stones to use if you are having any sleep issues, this is especially true if you have an overactive mind.  Howlite calms the mind and allows you to put all of the issues aside and achieve a peaceful night’s sleep.  Howlite does this in order to assist with preparing your mind to receive wisdom and insights. Howlite opens any blockage that you are holding and allows you to remember memories of other lives. Howlite assists you to formulate your ambitions and put into place plans in order to assist you to achieve them. While bringing calm into your lite it helps teaches patience and eliminate any suppressed rage.  Strengthens memory and clams and stills the mind.  Howlite is a wonderful communication stone as it allows us to see the bigger picture and be more open in dealing with our own feelings and in dealing with others.

Howlite is one of the first stones I will go to if anyone says they are having trouble sleeping or are stressed.  It holds a deep peaceful energy that works and combines wonderfully with other stones.   Affirmation:  I release all stress and I am peaceful, calm, and centered.
