Question 1

How hard is howlite, and does it scratch easily?

Accepted Answer

Howlite has a hardness of approximately 3-3.5 on the Mohs scale, which is relatively low, so it is worth handling carefully and storing away from hard objects.

Question 2

Is the veining pattern the same on every howlite piece?

Accepted Answer

No, the grey-black veining pattern is unique to each piece — this is a characteristic and a value of natural stone.

Question 3

Can howlite be confused with other white stones?

Accepted Answer

The distinguishing feature of howlite is its grey-black veining. White calcite is vein-free, selenite has a fibrous pattern — each has different characteristics.
