Use of howlite
Howlite is usually used to make ornaments, small carvings, or jewels for jewelry. Although howlite is usually inexpensive, it still has a wealth of properties that make it a popular gemstone for making jewelry. Due to its porous pattern, howlite is also easy to color to mimic other minerals. It is particularly suitable for imitating turquoise due to the similarity of the vein pattern. Howlite is also sold in its natural state, e.g. called white turquoise, but of course this is not the same as the real white turquoise that is usually mined in the US.

Canada, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, USA (especially California), Mexico, Russia, Germany, Turkey, Namibia and Pakistan.
