Howlite
|
Howlite is worn as a calming stone, believed to quiet an overactive mind and support patience and restful sleep. Its reputation ran strong enough that for much of the 20th century it was dyed to imitate scarcer turquoise and coral, sold to buyers seeking those stones' own powers. It was first identified in 1868 by Canadian geologist Henry How, which is where the name comes from.
