Howlite, in its original form, has a dense white or light gray color. It's a gemstone, which can also have some dark gray or black colored stripes like that of a spiders' web. Howlite imitates the shape of the head of a cauliflower. It's a complex crystal that includes borax, calcium, hydroxide, and silicon.

Some of the howlite gemstones feature translucent crystals on top of the nodules making it easy to absorb dyes well. This explains why howlite can easily mimic turquoise. In current years, many people make use of this attribute to emulate lapis lazuli, red coral, and other minerals. Moreover, howlite has been considered a perfect substitute stone for turquoise. Many native American jewelry styles are incorporated with the use of the howlite stone instead of the traditional gems. Howlite is also sometimes sold under the trade names of "white turquoise" or "white buffalo turquoise," or the derived name "white buffalo stone" and is used to produce jewelry similar to how turquoise is used.

The pure howlite gemstone is said to be good for concentration. It helps in relieving stress and curing insomnia. Howlite is also considered a memory stone. It is believed to boost memory and knowledge preservation. It helps a person improves his or her dexterity skills.
