Howlite turquoise is a substitute turquoise made of dyed howlite, a borate mineral. Howlite is porous, like turquoise. In its natural form it is white to grey, as shown in the image to the right.
Its light color and porous nature allows howlite to takes on dye very easily, as exhibited in the howlite turquoise beads to the left. In fact, howlite is used to imitate other gemstones, including lapis. We suspect that as a result it is under appreciated. In our eye, howlite can be beautiful by itself and without the aid of any enhancements.

Spiritually, howlite is a stone of awareness. It can prepare the user or wearer to receive wisdom and attunement from the Higher Self and the Divine. It is also used for dimensional travel and healthy meditation.
Howlite can also be used to release attachments, or cords, linking old emotional pain, from this life or a past life, to the present. Once these atachments are severed, it allows for processing those emotions and bringing peace in those areas.
