HISTORY AND LEGENDS OF THE HOWLITE STONE :

History :

Howlite was discovered in 1868 by the chemist Henry How, who gave it the name "Howlite Stone". Today, howlite stone is mainly used for decorative purposes or for the manufacture of jewellery.

Deposit and formation :

This natural semi-precious stone can be found in an opaque or translucent state. The colours vary from pale yellow to white to pale green. Howlite is often extracted from borax deposits in dry lakes in the heart of desert or arid regions. It is then removed in the form of nodules or compact masses. It can be found in the United States, Brazil, France and Austria.

Legends and beliefs:

Howlite stone was used by the American Indians to cure certain illnesses or during shamanic rituals. It was even nicknamed "White Buffalo Stone" or "Sacred Buffalo Stone" in reference to its rarity. In these cultures, it is worn as an amulet in the form of a pendant to protect oneself from beasts during the hunt.

Purification and recharging:

Howlite stone works like other energy stones: it is very sensitive to the vibrations and energies around it. It is important to discharge and recharge it when its energy no longer works. To discharge it, put it under clear and fresh water. Take advantage of two hours of sunlight or the next full moon to expose it to the light of the star all night. Activate it by taking it in your hands and rubbing it lightly for a few moments. On a daily basis, isolate your stone jewellery in your jewellery box and use a soft cloth to clean it.
