Tick Canyon is a classic California locality for howlite, where the mineral occurs as white nodular masses. Howlite is a calcium borosilicate hydroxide, first described in the 19th century, and is best recognized by its white coloration and characteristic gray to black veining. Material from Tick Canyon has long been represented in mineral and lapidary collections.
