Small African Tumbled Stones – White Howlite
White Howlite is one of the most delicately appearing polished stones: its snow-white or cream-white base is interlaced with grey and black veins, giving it a porcelain-like, understated beauty. These small African Howlite maroccas are lightweight, smooth-surfaced and pleasant to the touch. We import them directly from Africa, and their unique appearance makes them a popular accent in modern, minimalist interiors.

Characteristics
Howlite is a calcium boron silicate mineral that displays grey and black veined patterns on its white or cream-white base colour. The stone is remarkably light for its size, with a matte, porcelain-like surface. Due to its natural appearance it is also widely used to imitate white turquoise, but Howlite is special and beautiful in its own right.
How to Use
Small White Howlite maroccas are versatile decorative elements: they suit minimalist, Scandinavian, Japanese or modern interiors. Arrange them on a white tray, in a glass container, or mix with other white and grey-toned stones. They also make a great gift – their clean, elegant appearance is appreciated by almost everyone.
Why Choose This?
White Howlite's understated elegance makes it special in the stone range. It is traditionally associated with calm, patience and purity. If you are looking for a neutral yet characterful stone that suits any interior, White Howlite is one of the best choices among African maroccas.
Tips
- Arrange with other white or grey-toned stones (grey agate, moonstone, grey jasper) for a cohesive display.
- In a glass container the interplay of light and shadow on the white surface looks particularly beautiful.
- Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth – howlite is porous, so avoid prolonged soaking in water.
- Small howlite stones can also be used creatively for tray decoration and interior design projects.
