Howlite is commonly used to make decorative objects such as small carvings or jewelry components. Due to its porous texture, howlite can be easily dyed to mimic other minerals, especially turquoise due to the surface similarity of the vein patterns. Howlite is also sold in its natural state, sometimes under the trade names "white turquoise" or "white buffalo turquoise", or the name derived from "white buffalo stone" and is used to produce jewelry similar to those of turquoise. Varieties of unrelated gemstone turquoise that are white rather than the typical blue or green color have been mined in the states of Arizona and Nevada, and are also marketed as "white buffalo turquoise."
