Get to Know Your Stones:

Howlite is named after its discoverer, Henry How, a chemist and geologist from Novia Scotia. The stone is found in cauliflower-like masses that have the texture of unglazed porcelain. This is not a common formation for most stones, in fact, it is quite rare! Howlite is a soft stone that can be easily scratched if not taken care of properly. Due to its calcium structure, it can be sensitive to chemical cleaners. To clean the stone, use slightly soapy water and lukewarm water with a soft cloth. Rinse well to remove residue and pat dry. Taken care of properly, howlite can preserve its beauty for a lifetime.
