Howlite: An Insightful Overview
What is it?

History
The mineral is named after Henry How, who discovered it in Nova Scotia in 1868. Henry How was a prominent Canadian chemist, geologist, and mineralogist.

Howlite is said to radiate peaceful energy, which can help with insomnia, stress relief, and emotional balance. Howlite is said to still the mind, making it a useful aid for meditation.
Spiritual growth

Dyed jade is natural jadeite or nephrite that has been enhanced with artificial coloring to create vivid hues beyond those found in untreated jade, offering uniform color and wider design possibilities.
Jade has held cultural significance for thousands of years in China, Mesoamerica, and New Zealand.
Metaphysically, dyed jade is believed to retain jade’s traditional associations with protection, harmony, and balance, while also carrying the energy of its enhanced color.
