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.

This is a great looking Bereba classified meteorite specimen weighing .19 gram.  A single stone weighing 18 kilograms was observed falling on June 27, 1924 at 3:30pm in Burkina Faso  This Eucrite-mmict classified meteorite and is 1 of only 304 approved meteorites classified as such. This is a very difficult fall to acquire.

It is recognized as a monomict breccia, providing significant insight into the geological history of the asteroid 4 Vesta, from which it is believed to originate.

This piece is a very desirable type of material and a great specimen all around. The specimen comes in a protective display case. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card plus one from origin.

This meteorite came from the Elbert King meteorite collection. Labeled as "UNDOCUMENTED" and side noted, "#2". The stone was first recognized as a meteorite by KSU geologist Doug Brookins at the university in Manhattan, Kansas.

The meteorite was "discovered" on the desk of a university secretary where it was being used as a paper weight. A fitting job for any meteorite. The original find date is unknown. Elbert King acquired the aerolite from Brookins in a trade. It was unclassified and part of the King collection at the time of his death. A single stone, 301 grams, is all that is known of this find.

The Kansas Meteorite Society acquired it in 2004 and sent 26 grams to UCLA were it was classified by Alan Rubin in October of that year. The meteorite is a stone chondrite H4, W3, S1. Officially named the "Kansas State University" Meteorite in February 2005.

This piece is part of Kansas history and a special specimen of great importance for the collector of interesting material. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Mark Bostick Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card.
