Chakra Connection
In crystal tradition, howlite is linked with the crown chakra, the center of spiritual connection and a peaceful, open mind. It is best known as a calming stone, often kept by the bed or held before sleep to help quiet racing thoughts and ease restlessness. Many people also use it to cool down a short temper and practice patience. A palm stone shape makes this easy, since its smooth surface invites you to rub it slowly with your thumb as you breathe.

Crystal Care
Howlite is a fairly soft and porous stone, about 3.5 on the Mohs scale, so it can scratch and absorb liquids or oils. Keep it away from harder stones and keys, and avoid soaking it in water, salt water or cleaners. Wipe it with a soft dry or barely damp cloth instead. Its white color stays brighter when it is kept clean and out of heavy handling with lotions. See our guide to crystals that should never go in water.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this howlite natural?
Yes. This is natural white howlite with its own gray veining. It has been polished into a palm stone shape but not dyed, which is why it stays white rather than turquoise blue.
How big is it in the hand?
At about 50-60mm long, it rests comfortably in the palm and is small enough to carry in a pocket. It is a nice size for thumb rubbing and for holding during meditation.
Will mine look like the photo?
Your palm stone comes from the same lot and will share the same white color and gray veining, but each stone is unique. Expect natural differences in the vein pattern.
Is white howlite the same as white turquoise?
No. Howlite is sometimes sold as white turquoise or white buffalo stone, but it is its own mineral. Its white body with gray webbing is a natural howlite look, not turquoise.
Is it a good gift?
Yes. It is affordable, calming and easy to use, which makes it a thoughtful gift for stressed friends, students, new parents or anyone who has trouble unwinding.
What Is Howlite?
Howlite is a calcium borosilicate mineral that forms in nodules within sedimentary rocks, often in evaporite deposits. It is usually chalky white with gray to black veins that create a web like pattern. Because howlite is porous, it takes dye easily and is often colored blue to imitate turquoise, but this palm stone is its natural white. Howlite was named after the Canadian chemist Henry How, who identified it in the 1800s. Its peaceful look makes it one of the most popular calming stones.
