HOWLITE

Howlite was discovered in the 19th century in Canada and quickly gained recognition for its striking resemblance to marble. Its clean white surface veined with soft grays gives it a refined and minimalist aesthetic perfect for men who prefer a contemporary and understated style in their accessories.

The main deposits of howlite are found in Canada and the United States, producing high-quality specimens valued for their uniform color and distinctive natural veining. Despite being lightweight, howlite is remarkably durable, making it an ideal material for jewelry that balances modern design and resilience.

In men’s jewelry, howlite is especially appreciated for its ability to convey elegance without excess. It pairs seamlessly with dark, polished, or plated metals, resulting in pieces that express character and quiet sophistication.

Though a modern discovery, howlite was valued by Native American tribes in ritual ornaments, believed to bring balance to mind and spirit. Its pure white body with gray veining has since become associated with deep calm and self-control, making it a symbol for men who master their energy and move forward with discipline and serenity.

CARE

Howlite has a hardness of 3.5 on the Mohs scale, making it relatively soft and prone to scratches. To preserve its natural purity and veining:

Avoid contact with water, perfumes, or harsh chemicals.

Protect it from impacts or abrasive surfaces.

Clean only with a dry, soft cloth, and store it separately from harder stones.
