1.7" Polished White Howlite Pocket Stone

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

Howlite is a white, grey, and brown calcium-based mineral formed by evaporation. It occurs when calcium, boron, and silicon are readily available in an aqueous solution that begins to evaporate. As this 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 heads or nodules. Small, individual translucent crystals of howlite have been encountered, but this type of formation is quite rare.
