A NOTE FROM NICK
Howlite Lighting Strike Magnesite Spheres.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Exquisite lightning strike Howlite gemstone eggs
Howlite, a stunning mineral discovered in Nova Scotia in 1868 by the talented Henry How, has a fascinating history. 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.
