Howlite is normally a white stone with gray marbling, but it takes dye so well that it is often used as a substitue for Lapis and Turquoise. More recently, Howlite has been dyed in colors that are not supposed to imitate other gemstones, such as bright red, and now, yellow. A cheerful stone that wears well.
