Howlite is polished into a point that rises to a single tip, showing off the stone's soft white body and the fine spiderweb lines that run through it in black, gray or deep brown.
Stand it on your desk, your altar or beside your meditation cushion. In crystal tradition, points are said to amplify energy, bring clarity, balance energies, deepen spiritual connection and help with manifestation.

In crystal tradition, howlite is believed to bring calm, tranquility and emotional healing, and to ease stress and anxiety. It is said to encourage patience, self-awareness and inner peace, to support meditation and a deeper spiritual connection, and to help with communication, self-expression and understanding in relationships.
Howlite is associated with the Crown chakra, linked in tradition with spiritual awareness, higher consciousness and connection to divine wisdom and guidance.
Howlite is a borate mineral that forms in sedimentary rock. It was first identified by Henry How in Nova Scotia, Canada, and is also found in the United States, Mexico and other borate-rich regions. In its raw state it can look like a cauliflower head.
Because it is porous and takes dye easily, howlite has often been dyed to resemble turquoise or coral. Its use in place of red coral has helped ease demand for harvesting coral reefs.
Also known as White Buffalo, Sacred Buffalo, White Turquoise, Lapis Howlite, Silico Boro Calcite and Kaolinite.
Crystals have been prized for centuries for their beauty and believed metaphysical properties; Spirit Magicka makes no guarantee of any mystical or healing effect.
