Howlite beads
Howlite beads were discovered near Windsor (Nova Scotia, Canada) in 1868 by Henry How (1828-1879), a Canadian chemist, geologist and mineralogist. How was warned for the unknown mineral by miners from a plaster quarry because they saw the stone as a 'jammer'. How did the new mineral call silico-boro calcite. The name Howliet was given shortly thereafter by James Dwight. The most common form of Howlite is a lump of stone formed by irregular nodules, sometimes resembling a cauliflower. The Crystals of Howlite beads are fairly rare, it is only found in a few places worldwide.
The first Howlite crystals were reported from 'Tick Canyon', California, and later on Iona, Nova Scotia. The Howlite crystals reach a maximum size of about 1 cm, the stones are white with fine gray or black veins in a whimsical, often web-like pattern. The crystals found on Iona are colorless, white or brown and are often translucent or transparent.
Howlite is usually used to decorate jewelry. Because of the porous structure it is colored a lot to imitate other minerals. This is mainly done to imitate the much more precious turquoise. It is then referred to by the name turquenite.
