Cauliflower isn't what you may think of when you see howlite, but there is a connection. In the raw, it's found in cauliflower-like masses. This versatile stone is named for Henry How, a 19th century mineralogist, who found it first in Nova Scotia. Because howlite is soft and takes on rich hues of color when it's dyed, it becomes an inexpensive alternative to more costly stones. Its natural color is like snow softly falling. Dyed, it looks like luscious lapis lazuli or cherry red coral or a tantalizing turquoise-all gemstones no one would think started out looking like a cauliflower. Regardless of how you use it, in its natural or dyed forms, howlite makes the most delectable looking jewelry for a price your customers will find delectable, also.
