GEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND OF HOWLITEHowlite is a calcium borosilicate hydroxide mineral with the chemical formula Ca₂B₅SiO₉(OH)₅. It was first discovered in Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1868 and named after the Canadian chemist and geologist Henry How.Naturally occurring Howlite forms in evaporite deposits where borate minerals develop within sedimentary environments. The mineral typically forms as irregular nodules or masses rather than well-defined crystals. These nodules often feature the distinctive dark grey or black vein-like matrix patterns running through a white or cream-coloured base.The material used for carvings is selected from solid nodular masses that allow artisans to shape and polish the stone into decorative forms while preserving the mineral’s natural patterning.Important geological characteristics include:
• Mineral Type: Calcium borosilicate hydroxide
• Crystal System: Monoclinic
• Hardness: Approximately 3.5 on the Mohs scale
• Typical Colour: White to creamy white with grey or black veining
• Transparency: Opaque
• Lustre: Sub-vitreous to dull when unpolished, smooth and glossy when polishedHowlite deposits are most commonly found in Canada and parts of the United States, particularly in regions where borate-rich evaporite environments occur. CRAFTSMANSHIP AND DECORATIVE USEThis piece has been expertly carved and polished into an angel shape, highlighting the natural contrast between the white stone and the characteristic veining patterns. The polished surface enhances the stone’s smooth texture while preserving the natural mineral structure.Angel carvings are popular within crystal and mineral collecting due to their symbolic and decorative presence.
