A NOTE FROM NICK
A large flat of 17 beautifully polished Lightning Strike Howlite eggs from Zimbabwe.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Zimbabwean Lightning Strike Howlite
Howlite, a unique mineral discovered in Nova Scotia in 1868 by the talented Henry How. Originally known as Silico-Boro-Calcite, it wasn’t long before the name Howlite was adopted, thanks to the renowned mineralogist James Dwight Dana. At Toprock, our Howlite is sourced from Zimbabwe and is 100% natural. Due to logistical challenges, obtaining large quantities of rough Howlite at a reasonable price is quite difficult, making our supply even more special. Howlite features a beautiful white to grey base color, adorned with striking veiny patterns.
