The crescent moon is often associated with feminine and goddess energy, as well as change, transformation and growth. The crescent moon shows the passage of time, as it waxes and wanes each month, representing the cyclical nature of life.

Howlite is a borate mineral found in evaporate deposits. It was first discovered in Nova Scotia in 1868 by Henry How when miners in a gypsum quarry found it to be a nuisance. It is a whitish-gray colour with gray veins in a web-like pattern. Howlite is often dyed to resemble other stones such as turquoise or chrysocolla.

As a healing stone howlite is calming; used to relieve tension and anxiety. Place a piece of howlite under your pillow to fight insomnia.
