Product Code: RRC-HOW-PP

The United States, specifically California, is the source for almost all of the Howlite mineral. Nodules of up to 125 pounds have been found there. It is formed in continental evaporite deposits with other borate and evaporite minerals. It forms in nodules that appear like the heads of cauliflower. Having said this, this specimen is from South Africa. Howlite's white colour is easily dyed, and this can be done to resemble Turquoise when dyed a greenish-blue colour. Howlite is often used as a cheap substitute for Turquoise.
