MINERAL IDENTIFICATION – HOWLITEHowlite is a borate mineral composed primarily of calcium borosilicate hydroxide with the chemical formula Ca₂B₅SiO₉(OH)₅. It crystallises in the monoclinic crystal system but is most commonly found in massive nodular form rather than distinct crystals. Natural howlite is typically white or pale grey with dark grey to black veining caused by mineral inclusions.Due to its porous nature, howlite is frequently dyed to enhance or alter its colour. In this necklace, the howlite has been dyed turquoise blue to resemble natural turquoise, while retaining its original matrix-style veining pattern. The base material remains genuine howlite.Howlite has a Mohs hardness of approximately 3.5, making it suitable for jewellery when properly polished and cared for. Once polished, it displays a smooth surface with a matte to slightly vitreous lustre. GEOLOGICAL FORMATION AND NATURAL ORIGINHowlite forms in evaporite deposits, typically within sedimentary environments where borate-rich solutions precipitate in arid or semi-arid conditions. It is often associated with other borate minerals such as colemanite and ulexite.Major deposits of howlite are found in regions such as California, Canada and parts of Turkey. The nodular masses are extracted and then shaped and polished for ornamental and jewellery purposes.The distinctive web-like veining in howlite results from mineral impurities and fracture infill within the stone during its formation. When dyed, these natural veins remain visible, creating a striking contrast against the turquoise-coloured surface. JEWELLERY CRAFTSMANSHIP – HANDMADE IN DEVONThis 17 inch necklace has been hand made in Devon with attention to bead arrangement, colour harmony and durability. The length offers a balanced fit suitable for everyday wear or layering with longer pieces.Each bead has been selected for consistent dye tone and clear veining patterns, ensuring a cohesive and attractive overall appearance. The polished finish enhances the contrast between the vibrant blue colour and the darker matrix lines.The craftsmanship reflects careful assembly, providing comfort and secure construction while allowing the distinctive appearance of turquoise howlite to remain the focal point. COLLECTING AND TRADITIONAL ASSOCIATIONSTurquoise-coloured howlite is popular among jewellery enthusiasts who appreciate the bold blue tones and striking matrix patterns.
