White Howlite is named for Canadian mineralogist Henry How, who first discovered the stone in Southern California in 1868. It is typically white or light gray with gray, black or brown veins running through it in web-like patterns. Because of its softness, Howlite can be easily dyed and is often treated to be blue for use as a substitute for turquoise.
