Learn About Howlite
From Mindat.org:
“First described as silicoborocalcite by Henry How (11 July 1828, London, England – 28 September 1879, Windsor, Nova Scotia) chemist, geologist, and mineralogist. Professor of Natural History and Chemistry at King’s College, Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada. Renamed shortly afterwards to howlite by James Dwight Dana.”
Sadly, this lovely mineral is often dyed to create fake turquoise. Sometimes it is sold as “white turquoise” in its natural form.
Please Note: Stone treatments can be lovely. Many are costly and produce lovely results that enliven the original material. It usually comes down to a matter of preference. Find your joy!
However, some people intentionally create (or purchase for resale) imitations, purposely mislabel them, and charge more. At that point, it is no longer about the artistry of treating stones and creating new and exciting pieces. I applaud the artistry and those who sell their items with full disclosure (to the extent that they have been educated on the materials).
What is the Aura, Anyway?
Aura is a thin coating of precious metals, such as platinum or silver, through a process called vapor deposition. This creates a beautiful iridescent sheen on the crystal, giving it a rainbow-like appearance. The metallic coating enhances the natural beauty of the quartz, making it a popular choice for jewelry and decorative pieces. It is treated, but not synthetically made, as the gemstone was not lab-created or made in some other fashion. Angel aura is said to be a combination of titanium and niobium. Other colors of coatings use other metals or metal combinations. Learn more about how the coatings are done at this link.
