The Character of Dyed Howlite
Howlite is a naturally white to pale mineral known for its distinctive grey or dark veining. Because of its porous nature, it can be dyed to create vibrant colours, with turquoise-blue being one of its most recognisable treatments.
The dramatic matrix pattern visible throughout this gemstone gives it much of its visual appeal. Rather than appearing completely uniform, the blue colour is intersected by dark organic-looking lines, creating the appearance of a miniature landscape within the stone.
A Symbolic Stone of Calm and Perspective
Turquoise-coloured Howlite is often appreciated for its association with calmness, patience and emotional balance. The combination of soothing blue tones and contrasting dark veining creates a thought-provoking visual reminder that beauty can emerge from contrast.
The teardrop form further enhances the necklace's sense of elegance, allowing the vibrant gemstone to take centre stage while the sterling silver setting provides a clean and timeless frame.
Whether chosen for its colour, symbolism or distinctive natural-looking pattern, this Turquoise Howlite necklace offers an accessible way to bring vibrant gemstone colour and understated sterling silver elegance into everyday jewellery.
A striking turquoise-hued teardrop with intricate dark veining, thoughtfully framed in sterling silver and finished with a 45cm chain.

Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time when exposed to air, moisture, perfumes, lotions, and chemicals. To keep your jewellery looking its best:
- Store your jewellery in a dry, airtight pouch or jewellery box when not in use.
- Avoid contact with perfumes, hairspray, lotions, chlorine, and household cleaning products.
- Remove jewellery before swimming, showering, exercising, or sleeping.
- Clean silver gently with a soft polishing cloth designed for sterling silver.
Gemstone Care
Natural gemstones are beautiful and unique, but many require gentle handling.
- Avoid dropping or knocking gemstone jewellery against hard surfaces.
- Keep gemstones away from harsh chemicals and extreme heat.
- Clean gemstone jewellery with a soft cloth and lukewarm water if needed.
- Avoid ultrasonic cleaners unless you are certain the gemstone is suitable for them.
