Turquoise Synthetic Purple & Black Dice

These are a synthetic stone dice made from dyed White Howlite.

Material Properties

Howlite is perhaps best known for being an imitation gemstone, as it can be dyed different colours to look like semi-precious gemstones such as Turquoise. Howlite is a borate mineral found in sedimentary rock. It was first discovered in Canada in 1868 by Henry How, a Canadian chemist, mineralogist, and geologist. A group of miners brought it to his attention when they came across it while mining, finding it to be a nuisance because it was harder to mine than gypsum.

Howlite has a white marble-like appearance with threaded grey, black or brown veins running through it. Some forms of Howlite are just pure white, however. Howlite is a porous stone that can absorb dye well, which is why it’s often used to synthesise other gems.

Mystical Properties

When it comes to spiritual and emotional powers, it’s believed that Howlite heightens awareness and patience. Howlite is a calming stone and it can help its wearer to reduce their own levels of anger, as well as anger that is directed towards them. Howlite absorbs negative energy and its calming qualities as it relieves and unburdens an overactive mind. In terms of physical healing powers, it’s said that Howlite can help to strengthen its wearer’s bones.
