Howlite crystallizes in the form of white nodules, compact masses, and tabular crystals.  This mineral can be used to calm communication, to facilitate awareness, and to encourage emotional expression.  It tends to combine the power of reasoning with observation and patience, providing for discernment, retentive memory and a laudable desire for knowledge, bringing progress marked with triumph. It spurs one toward the ambition to reach ones goals and assists in eliminating hesitation with respect to action.  It dispels criticalness, cold selfishness, and facetiousness, bringing both strength and innocence to immediate confrontations. It builds an innate decency within ones character, encouraging those attributes which are the building blocks to spirituality.  Howlite can be used to eliminate pain, stress, and rage; hence, it is quite nice to have around. It can help to lessen rudeness and boisterousness, and can provide for a reflection of the offender to the offender. It discourages impertinent behavior and encourages subtlety and tact.  This mineral can be useful for balancing calcium levels in the body, both stimulating increase or decrease dependent upon the area. It can also be used in the treatment of disorders of the teeth, bone structure, and soft tissues.  Vibrates to the number 2.
