Howlite meaning:
Howlite is so under-rated because it is so often dyed and used as a substitute for other stones. For instance, a lot of turquoise, probably most, on the market today, is Howlite that has been dyed the color of turquoise, so buyers of precious stones are on the look-out to avoid Howlite. And yet, Howlite is a master-vibration stone that is especially beneficial both materially and spiritually! Carry it or hold it to open up your clairvoyant gifts. Howlite is a must for a vision-quest. It aligns you with your higher self's expression on the astral plane, so keep it handy to spark your imagination for writing, dreaming, and all poetic musings.
Overall, Howlite is great for security in love, dream-state experiences, contentment in marriage, close-knit family relations, and communicating and receiving with your subconscious mind.
