Lapis Howlite 6mm Round(24500)

Howlite is a basic calcium silico-borate. In its natural state it is white, and commonly marked with black, gray, or brown intersecting veins. It is often dyed to resemble other more expensive stones like turquoise and Lapis Lazuli.

The stone is named for its discoverer, Henry How, a Canadian geologist from Nova Scotia.

Howlite is thought to be a highly suitable stone to use when needing to reduce anxiety, tensions and stress. Howlite can be used to facilitate awareness, encourage emotional expression and assist in the elimination of pain, stress and/or rage.

Howlite is believed to calm and soothe the emotions, slow the overactive mind and help to achieve a deep and restful sleep. Howlite can help to access/retrieve wisdom during the dream state and bring it back into consciousness upon waking.

It is a non-traditional birthstone, associated with those born under the zodiac sign Gemini.

Howlite is a very soft stone, registering between 2.5 and 3.5 on the Moh scale.
