Howlite rounds in 4mm are a workhorse bead — smooth, consistent, and light enough to string in multiples without weighing down a finished piece. Howlite's naturally porous surface takes dye well, which is how this stone lands in the purple color family with that characteristic veining still visible beneath.

Expect the matte, chalky surface texture howlite is known for, with the dyed purple tone running through a web of darker veining that gives each bead its own subtle patterning.

What to make with them

At 4mm these are well-suited for delicate stacked bracelets, rosary-style knotted strands, or as spacers between larger focal stones in a necklace — the small diameter also makes them a natural fit for earring drops where weight matters.

Description

Howlite was discovered in Nova Scotia by Henry How. This gem is easily recognized by its grey, black or brown veins within opaque white stone. Howlite is a porous and inexpensive gem, which makes it a great candidate for dying. It is often dyed to resemble turquoise or lapis lazuli. Some alternative healers believe it to decrease stress and encourage restful sleep, it is also often known as "Tranquility Stone".
