Howlite was discovered near Windsor, Nova Scotia in 1868 and named after Henry How, a Canadian chemist, geologist, and mineralogist.  It often forms in nodules which resemble cauliflower heads. The nodules are opaque, white with gray or black veins, often showing web-like pattern.   Dyed Blue Howlite is used as a turquoise substitute and is sometimes marketed as turquenite.

Howlite is said to be an extremely calming stone, which may help prevent insomnia.  It is also said that Howlite teaches patience and helps to eliminate anger and strengthens positive character traits.  Blue Howlite specifically, is said to aid in recalling dreams and accessing their insights.
