1.7" Polished White Howlite Pocket Stone

The stone is polished into an oval shape and is rounded on all sides. Polished stones of this size and shape are generally referred to as pocket stones as they will easily fit into a pocket. The pictures are representative to the stone you will receive, but there is some variation in colors and patterning.

Howlite is a white, grey and brown calcium based mineral that forms as a result of evaporation. It occurs when calcium, boron and silicon are readily available in an aqueous solution that begins to dry up. As the solution dries up, the minerals come together to form crystals (somewhat similar to the formation of halite). It typically forms in botryoidal masses that resemble cauliflower or nodules. Small, individual translucent crystals of howlite have been encountered, however this type of formation is quite rare.
