Undyed Howlite is often believed to be an excellent stone for meditation, and has been used by practitioners to focus the mind. The grey spidery veins are thought to be like intrusive thoughts, to be acknowledged and then passed by. For this mental calming effect, some believers advocate placing Howlite under an insomniac's pillow, to promote serenity of mind and to empty it of distracting thought.

Howlite is also thought to have properties that help relieve stress, open up memories of previous lives, strengthen bones and/or teeth, among other benefits.

Howlite is an opaque white or light grey porous stone, marked with black, grey or dark brown veining. It does not facet well, but looks beautiful when carved into large shapes with curves.

Howlite is a soft stone, so it can easily be scratched. With its calcium structure, it is also vulnerable to many chemical cleaners, acidic perspiration and damage from sand and dust. To clean Howlite, use lukewarm, slightly soapy water and a soft cloth (cotton is best). Rinse well to remove residue and pat dry. If your Howlite is dyed, do not immerse the stone. Store Howlite wrapped in soft cloth within a separate box or pouch to reduce the likelihood of damage.
