Howlite Heart, a Landscape in White
Soft white and wandering grey give this Howlite Heart its gentle character. Light-grey branches mingle with darker markings across a smooth-looking surface, where a delicate sheen catches the light. Two rounded lobes frame the inward notch, and the outline tapers to a softly rounded point.
Howlite takes its name from Henry How, the chemist and mineralogist who first described the mineral. It is a small human connection within the name, paired here with a shape that feels familiar and affectionate.
The branching lines suggest a little river landscape seen from above: winding channels crossing pale ground, splitting into smaller paths. Within the heart’s curved boundary, those irregular markings offer something less orderly than a drawn map—a white landscape threaded with grey.
