Howlite Crystal Bowl gift Moss Scale: Hardyness 7Howlite was discovered near Windsor, Nova Scotia in 1868 by Henry How (18281879), a Canadian chemist, geologist, and mineralogist. How was alerted to the unknown mineral by miners in a gypsum quarry, who found it to be a nuisance. Howlite is a very porous stone that takes dye very well, so it is often dyed blue, and sold as turquoise. In fact, the stone is more famous for its ability to look like turquoise, than it is for its own natural state.
