This is a slab of Howlite from Tick Canyon, near Saugus, California. Howlite is a calcium-silicate mineral. The material makes nice cabs with its spider web patterns. Though it is naturally white, and many times with black spider-webbing lines, the material is often dyed other colors because it apparently easily accepts a dye. This one is a brighter white than it looks in the photos, and it is accented with small brown spots, which actually gives it, to me, more character! Our understanding is that this material often fluoresces blue, while these little brown spots fluoresce yellow. It is roughly 5" x 3" and 5-6 mm thick. Weight is 115 grams, or 4.1 ounces.
