Product Description:
Add clean, versatile elegance with brilliant faceted sparkle to your jewelry designs with our Howlite Faceted Bicone Beads Strands. These beautiful beads feature natural howlite – a white to creamy white calcium borosilicate mineral prized for its distinctive dark grey, black, or brown web-like veining that resembles marble, lace, or lightning patterns. The faceted bicone shape combines the elegance of a tapered, double-cone silhouette with precision-cut facets that catch and reflect light beautifully from every angle, creating exceptional brilliance and sparkle.
Howlite is a natural gemstone known for its calming energy and remarkable versatility. The soft white base with dramatic veining makes each bead a miniature work of natural art – no two beads are exactly alike. The natural stone is carefully shaped into bicone beads – a faceted, double-cone shape that is wider at the center and tapered at both ends – then precision-faceted to enhance its natural beauty and luster.
These strands are a favorite among professional jewelry designers, crystal healers, and anyone seeking an affordable, versatile white stone – also prized as a natural base for custom dyeing to imitate turquoise, coral, lapis, and other colored gemstones. The faceted bicone shape adds texture, brilliance, and visual interest to any project. Each strand measures approximately thirty-eight centimeters in length, strung and knotted for safe shipping.

🤍✨ What are Howlite Faceted Bicone Beads?
These elegant beads feature genuine natural howlite in a precision faceted bicone shape.
About Howlite:
Howlite is a calcium borosilicate mineral discovered in the nineteenth century by Canadian chemist, geologist, and mineralogist Henry How near Windsor, Nova Scotia. It is prized for its white to creamy white color and distinctive dark grey, black, or brown web-like veining – often compared to marble, lace, or lightning patterns. Major sources include Canada, the United States, Mexico, Turkey, Germany, and Russia. Howlite is often used as an affordable substitute for turquoise when dyed, but in its natural state, it offers a beautiful, calming aesthetic perfect for boho and minimalist jewelry.
About the Bicone Shape:
The bicone, also known as double-cone, is a faceted bead shape that is wider at the center and tapers to points at both ends. This elegant silhouette creates exceptional light reflection and sparkle, as the angled facets catch light from multiple directions. The bicone shape is highly prized by jewelry designers for its vintage-inspired elegance and brilliant shine.
Howlite for Dyeing:
Howlite is one of the most popular gemstones for custom dyeing because of its natural porosity. It readily absorbs dyes to imitate turquoise (blue), coral (red/orange/pink), lapis lazuli (deep blue), and other colored gemstones. These beads are undyed natural white howlite – perfect for customers seeking the natural look or those who wish to dye their own.
Important Care Reminder:
Howlite has low hardness. Avoid wearing with harder stones like agate, quartz, or jasper in the same bracelet to prevent scratching. Best suited for necklaces, earrings, and occasional-wear bracelets.
Perfect for Boho and Calming Jewelry:
The combination of howlite's distinctive veining and brilliant bicone faceted sparkle makes these beads perfect for bohemian designs, minimalist pieces, calming accessories, meditation malas, and any project needing a neutral, grounding, distinctive touch.
