Geology · Formation
How it forms: Evaporite deposits in arid regions.
Howlite is a calcium borate mineral famous for its 'marble-like' appearance. It forms in evaporite deposits in arid regions, often alongside Borax. The concentration of boron and calcium in ancient, drying lake beds triggers the growth. The Result: Opaque, white nodules with distinctive black or grey 'spider-web' veining.
