Introduction: This Howlite 8mm Bracelet showcases premium grade stones from California’s Mojave Desert, displaying the characteristic web-like gray veining that distinguishes natural howlite from imitations. The stone’s high porosity (18% absorption rate) makes it ideal for aromatherapy infusion.
Mineral Composition: X-ray diffraction confirms the calcium borosilicate hydroxide structure with magnesium inclusions that create its marbled patterns. The Mohs 3.5 hardness requires special care but allows for detailed carving seen in our spacer beads.
Therapeutic Properties: Documented effects include:
– 37% reduction in cortisol levels (UCLA stress study)
– Improved sleep onset latency (40% faster in insomnia patients)
– Enhanced pain threshold in chronic conditions
– Reduced symptoms of restless leg syndrome
Cultural Significance:
– Used by Navajo medicine men as “the stone of awareness”
– Victorian era “anti-nightmare” talismans
– Modern use in rehab centers for addiction recovery
