HOWLITE TURQUOISE

Howlite, scientifically called a calcium borosilicate hydroxide, is a silicate mineral often used to replicate turquoise. In nature, the stone is white or grey with dark stripes. Although the mineral is often legitimately sold, it is occasionally pawned by dealers as real turquoise, which raises the price considerably. There are several natural stones that may be dyed to look like turquoise and are imitations of the real turquoise stones. These include howlite, which is a white stone that readily absorbs turquoise colored dyes because of its porpsity. A few natural stones can look like turquoise but really aren’t. These include variscite, amazonite and serpentine. Again there isn’t anything wrong with using these stones, provided the customer knows he or she is not buying real turquoise.
