{"product_id":"blue-howlite-chip-necklace-32","title":"Blue Howlite Crystal Chip Necklace, 32\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 32 inch strand of howlite chips dyed the blue of turquoise, long enough to wear as a single drape or doubled close to the throat. Here is the honest version first: howlite is a naturally white, gray veined stone, and the blue you see is a dye applied to imitate turquoise. The stone is real howlite; the color is not natural, and it is not turquoise. We would rather you heard that from us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat the dye cannot change is the stone underneath. Howlite is the quiet mind stone of modern crystal practice, reached for when thoughts will not settle, and a chip strand keeps that intention resting against you through the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine howlite, honestly dyed.\u003c\/strong\u003e Real howlite chips, dyed blue in the common trade treatment that imitates turquoise.

There it has settled firmly into one role: the stone of a quiet mind, kept for calm, patience, and the slow unclenching of a day that ran too loud. Because howlite takes dye readily, the trade has long colored it blue to stand in for turquoise, and worn honestly, dyed howlite carries its own meaning: the calm of the stone in the color of the sky. A chip strand is one of the oldest ways to keep a stone's intention with you, resting at the collarbone where you notice it when you reach for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleanse it gently when it arrives: incense smoke, sound, or overnight moonlight.
