Howlite Egg

Howlite is a semi-precious stone first found in Nova Scotia, Canada. It was named after Henry How, the Canadian mineralogist that first discovered it.

Howlite is usually a white stone found with black-grey lines running through it. It is found in nodule formation, much like a white colored turquoise. Howlite is a soft and porous stone and this makes it easy to dye other colors such as light and dark blue. Gemstone cutters will select howlite with white lines and patterns on it, as no two pieces are exactly alike. It is a great stone for jewellery and stone carvings.

Carved eggs and spheres are popular items in home décor. There are also gaining popularity as items that are being used for meditation. They are nice to hold and feel, and are quickly becoming very collectible.

The collector's passion for eggs from different material, from undecorated gemstone eggs to large egg creations, has lasted until the present day, and there are still many egg collectors and admirers in the various cultures of our world.

It also symbolizes things that have no beginning and no end. In meditation, one should hold the egg in your hand. Many believe they have a have a special, comforting feeling. Collectors sometimes collect individual eggs, and sometimes collect large egg collections in “nests” or baskets.
