Museum Provenance

Named for Henry How the Canadian mineralogist who first described it, Howlite is a colorless mineral often dyed to resemble other stones, especially turquoise. Because of its stability, howlite is a safer choice than non-sterling set turquoise because it is less likely to chip or break. More than 2,500 minerals are exhibited at our Janet Annenberg Hooker Hall of Geology, Gems and Minerals.

Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
