Description

Item 1182 This great looking 21″ howlite nugget necklace is dyed turquoise blue and has sterling silver beads at the clasp ends. The nuggets average 6.5mm in diameter.

Howlite has been used for decades in Native American jewelry because its porous surface makes it easy to dye any color required. It is often dyed to simulate turquoise and can easily be presented as turquoise. It is also often mistaken for white turquoise or white buffalo.
