Crushed White Howlite Powder from Zimbabwe, Fine Crush (<0.25mm)

Howlite is an opaque, white mineral that forms in evaporite deposits similar to salt and gypsum. This crushed howlite is from Zimbabwe and has natural gray webbing similar to the brown webbing found in turquoise. Howlite accepts a nice polish and is appealing for artists that require a porcelain-like or pure white appearance for their mineral project.  Our powdered material consists of mostly silt and clay sized particles. Our powders do have a slight grit to them.
