It was named after the Canadian mineralogist Henry How, who first described it in 1868. Its absorbent surface takes dye so readily that dyed howlite is widely sold as imitation turquoise and other stones, a 20th-century commercial practice. Sources include the USA, principally California, and Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
