Discovered in 1868 by Canadian chemist, mineralogist and geologist Henry How, Howlite has the appearance of white marble or porcelain with a sub-vitreous lustre and is a borate mineral found in sedimentary rock. A group of miners mining for gypsum alerted Henry as it was so much herder to mine and he decided to call it “silico-boro-calcite”. It was American mineralogist and geologist James Dwight Dana that renamed it Howlite in honour years later. Found mostly in the United States, Howlite forms in nodules that have been said to look like the heads of cauliflower and examples have been discovered weighing over one hundred pounds.
