Howlite crystals have their own healing properties and are aligned with one of the seven chakras. These unique characteristics can help you determine if you should start wearing Howlite crystal jewelry.
This post is specifically designed to educate you on your Howlite crystal fidget jewelry. If you're just getting into crystal healing, check out our beginner's guide to crystal healing for more information on the practice and the best ways to get started.
What is Howlite Crystal Good For?
Howlite is known as a calming stone. This crystal has five healing properties that determine what the stone is good for.
Healing Property 1: Patience
The first healing property associated with Howlite is patience. Patience can be a very hard skill to master, especially if you have a lot of obligations and very little time to dedicate to them.
Typically, our patience runs thin when we are stressed. Many people have also used Howlite to help with managing stress. It's not always easy to navigate stress and conflict from a place of understanding—many times, we're jaded by our cluttered minds which can cause us to lash out and say things we don't mean. It is believed that Howlite can help you be more patient and approach stressful situations with love and care.
Healing Property 2: Wisdom
Howlite crystals are also associated with wisdom. This could mean that you are looking for wisdom or that are you are looking for ways you verbalize your own wisdom to others.
We definitely recommend Howlite crystal jewelry to people in positions of leadership. As a leader, you have wisdom to share with the people you lead. You also might be navigating tricky situations that you could use wisdom to work through.
Healing Property 3: Peace
The third healing property associated with this crystal is peace. When you feel stressed or have a lot on your plate, it can be hard to carve out moments of peace in your day. Even if you have some downtime at the end of your day to sit on the couch or take a long shower, your mind will likely still be running a mile a minute.
That's where Howlite can come in. It is believed that this crystal can help quiet your mind if you're someone who is constantly thinking and stuck in your head. The energy from this stone is believed to help you sort through your thoughts, sticking to productive ones and getting rid of negative ones.
Healing Property 4: Clarity
This crystal is also associated with clarity. This can mean that Howlite helps clarify your thoughts or helps you clearly communicate your feelings with others.
Howlite would be a great crystal for people who find themselves in conflict-heavy situations a lot. Maybe you just got a promotion at work where you're managing a team. The additional responsibilities of the job and regularly communicating with others might leave you feeling overwhelmed which causes your mind to be cluttered. To clarify those thoughts and effectively communicate with others, Howlite could be a great crystal to have on you.
Healing Property 5: Balance
The final healing property associated with Howlite is balance. Balance is the culmination of the four healing properties that came before it. It's balancing your emotions to promote patience, establishing healthy boundaries so you can find peace, and giving you the space to recharge so you can think clearly.
Find the places in your life that feel out of balance. Establish boundaries at work so you're fully present when you're not working. Assess your relationships with others and make sure that they feel healthy. Do what you need to do to keep things balanced in your life.
If those associations resonate with you, you might want to try out Howlite for your healing journey. Associations can help guide your intentions when you're practicing crystal healing—if these associations align with what you want to gain from healing, Howlite is the right crystal for you!
What Chakra is Howlite?
Howlite is primarily aligned with the crown chakra. The crown chakra is known for controlling our awareness and intelligence. If it's out of alignment, you might feel like you don't know where your life is going or how your actions are affecting others. It is believed that you can use Howlite to help realign the crown chakra, leaving you feeling enlightened and in touch with how you're perceived.
What Zodiac is Howlite Crystal Jewelry Good For?
For a sign that's always thinking and can struggle to focus, Howlite might be the answer to all their prayers. This is why we recommend Howlite crystal jewelry to Virgos.
Virgos tend to find themselves in leadership positions that come with a lot of responsibility. This can lead to stress and tension that can hinder their ability to stay calm. Howlite crystal jewelry can help a Virgo sort through their thoughts and approach every situation with calmness.
Can you Wear Howlite Crystal Jewelry Everyday?
You absolutely can, and should, wear your Howlite crystal jewelry everyday. However, when you do, your crystal will come into contact with negative energy.
In fact, there is some prep you need should do before you wear your crystal jewelry for the first time. When you order any of our crystal elements, there are multiple people that interact with it from the time it leaves our facility to the time it arrives at your front door. During that journey, it is likely to come into contact with negative energy which is believed to hinder the crystal's full abilities. Don't worry! There are a few ways that you can cleanse the negative energy from your Howlite element:
- Use a stream of running water. Howlite is a water-safe crystal which means you can use a stream of running water for cleansing. Using tap water is completely fine for this. Leave your element under the running water for a couple of minutes to wash away negative energy. Make sure your element is completely dry before you begin wearing it.
- Leave it in a bowl of brown rice. The second method you can use for cleansing is leaving your Howlite crystal in a bowl of brown rice. Brown rice is believed to absorb negative energy in crystals. Usually it only takes a few hours for the rice to absorb negative energy.
- Charge it with moonlight. Crystals tend to be receptive to the power of the moon. Exposing your Howlite to moonlight overnight can charge it with positive energy. Find a spot in your home that has direct access to the moon and leave it there until the morning. The best time to do this is during a full moon when the moon is at its most powerful.
- Use a Selenite charging plate. The final method you can use for cleansing Howlite is charging it with a Selenite charging plate. Selenite is a crystal that absorbs negative energy. We have three different types of Selenite charging plates available if this is the method you'd like to use!

If you do end up wearing your Howlite crystal jewelry everyday, it's important that you engage in one of these methods every month or so to get rid of negative energy that your crystal comes into contact with from daily use. The moon method is a great way to keep up with cleansing because you would charge it every time there's a full moon. Cleansing is an important step in crystal healing—many believe that a crystal charged with positive energy is the most effective for healing.
Begin Your Howlite Crystal Healing Journey
After you've prepped your Howlite element, it's time to start practicing healing! The first step to crystal healing, regardless of which crystal you're using, is to start with an open mind. Ask yourself if you have any doubts about what crystal healing can actually do for you. If you don't believe that it will work, you're not going to have the most effective experience you can. Dissipate any skepticisms you have before moving onto the next steps in the process.
The next step is to set an intention for how you want to practice healing with your Howlite element. Return back to those associations we discussed earlier in this post to guide your intention. Your intention should be specific. For Howlite, you might set an intention to clear your mind before making decisions or addressing conflicts that occur in your daily life. Think about what you're practicing crystal healing for and then work from there to build your intention.
Once you've decided on an intention, hold the Howlite element in your hands and speak your intention into the crystal. Repeat it a few times and commit it to memory. Remember your intention when you're wearing your Howlite element and make decisions that align with it.
After a while, you might decide that you want to set a different intention for your element. That's completely natural! Use one of the cleansing methods from above to start with a fresh crystal and repeat this intention-setting process.
