Howlite – The Crystal of Compassion

The beautiful white stone, Howlite, is named after Canadian geologist Henry How. He discovered deposits of the mineral in Nova Scotia back in 1868.

Over time, Howlite has acquired other names, including White Buffalo, Howlite Lapis, and Snow Leopard Stone. There is no exact information on whether the name is related to its resemblance to the fur of the majestic animal or to the powerful energy it embodies.

There are deposits of the stone in the USA, Germany, Turkey, Russia, Mexico, and Namibia.

Varieties of Howlite

Howlite is composed of calcium borate, which creates unique spots or streaks. These patterns often resemble a web.

It typically comes in white, coral, or light gray color. The patterns can be dark gray, black, and sometimes even colored.

Its structure allows it to be processed and to acquire additional color nuances.

Mystical and Healing Properties

The stone’s white color is associated with tranquility, purity, mental clarity, and ambition. The stripes of Howlite are associated with the subconsciousness. For this reason, the stone is considered especially suitable for meditation, transporting you to a peaceful place. It is also called the "Stone of Calming" because of its ability to soothe the entire body.

Its connection to the white mantle of winter is often linked to natural processes in animals typical for this season. Much like some mammals experience lethargy, the stone "lulls" the restless mind, recharging its energy.

Howlite is believed to be helpful if you feel anxious or stressed out.

If you get easily distracted, this stone will help you focus on your tasks and thoughts.

It can also repair broken relationships with your partner or family.

Howlite is said to enhance positive character traits such as compassion, love, gentleness, and prudence.

In alternative medicine, the crystal is used as a remedy for insomnia. Place a piece of howlite under your pillow to combat restless sleep.

Howlite balances calcium levels in the body, which is why it has a healing effect on osteoporosis, dental issues, bones, and soft tissues.

It also benefits people suffering from hyperactivity and memory loss. Among its healing properties is muscle tension relief.

Application

The soft energy of Howlite pairs wonderfully with that of Rose Quartz, Agate, and Amethyst.

If you lack patience, combine the crystal with Amber and wear the jewelry whenever you feel irritated.

Combine Howlite with Amazonite and Quartz to calm your mind and release stress.

If you struggle with anger, pair Howlite with Black Obsidian or Black Jade. Combined, these stones will bring you tranquility. Plus, their colors blend beautifully!

Note that you should use different crystal combinations depending on the desired results.

Howlite can be made into a jewelry piece, a talisman, or a home decoration.
