MAGNESITE VS HOWLITE?

*This veined white Magnesite material used to be sold by us as Howlite. We then learned that this material is actually Magnesite. Howlite was originally being sourced from Tick Canyon, USA. When the supply ran out, suppliers replaced it with the Magnesite material in Southern Africa.

The two materials look almost identical, except that Howlite has darker and more prominent veining. Both are soft, porous, and often dyed for use in jewellery.

They are, however, different chemically. Howlite is a calcium borosilicate, while Magnesite is a magnesium carbonate.

 

GEOLOGICAL:

Magnesite is a magnesium carbonate mineral and is named after the Magnesium in its composition. This mineral has been detected on Mars! The Magnesite in the Southern African area forms as massive lenses in Serpentine deposits. It is found as massive lapidary-grade material at multiple sites, including Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa. The grey veining is caused by the presence of Chalcedony.

Magnesite:

Magnesite is a calming stone that helps you take action and reach your goals. It combats selfishness, boisterousness, and vulgarity. Meditating with Magnesite can help one to connect with the higher realms, allowing for greater communication of higher frequencies into the higher chakras, to be assimilated by the unconscious mind, which helps one to slowly remove the veils blocking truth.
