This red spinel crystal singing bowl sounds in A at 223 Hz, resonating with the third eye chakra and the deep body—pelvis, hips, and foundational connection to earth. Red spinel supports vitality restoration and grounded resilience, traditionally valued for rebuilding core energy after periods of depletion. When this gemstone's enduring strength meets the intuitive frequency of A, the result is presence that anchors through the body rather than floating above it.

ESSENCE

I am the stone that holds the weight. For two thousand years, I sat in crowns and scepters, mistaken for ruby, called sovereign, called victory—and I simply did what I've always done: I endured. When you've been scattered across a thousand obligations, when your nervous system hums like an overtightened wire, I am the presence that says come home to your body. I don't ask you to transcend your humanness. I ask you to inhabit it fully.

THE ELEMENT

Red spinel is a magnesium aluminum oxide mineral, crystallizing in the cubic system with a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale—nearly as durable as sapphire. Its deep crimson color comes from trace chromium woven into its lattice structure, the same element that gives rubies their fire. This gemstone forms under extreme conditions: high-temperature metamorphic environments where pressure and heat don't destroy, but clarify.

For over two millennia, red spinel adorned the regalia of rulers across Asia, Persia, and Europe. The famous "Black Prince's Ruby" in the British Crown Jewels? Red spinel. The "Timur Ruby"? Also spinel. For centuries, this stone was grouped with rubies and called sovereign—only distinguished as its own species in 1783. Its historical association with royalty, protection, and victory in battle speaks to what people have always sensed in its presence: endurance, resilience, and the quiet strength that outlasts empires.

When red spinel is infused into quartz crystal through Divine Bowls' proprietary process, its molecular structure becomes part of what vibrates—not a surface coating, but an integration at the deepest level. The mineral's grounding signature is woven into every frequency the bowl produces. Contemporary wellness practitioners describe red spinel as a stone of rejuvenation, supporting those who've given too much and forgotten how to receive. When you work with this bowl, you're working with a gemstone that knows something about surviving conditions most matter cannot bear—and emerging more beautiful for it.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in A at 223 Hz, resonating with the third eye chakra in the Western diatonic system. The A frequency carries the energetic quality of intuition, wisdom, and clear vision, vibrating through your pelvis, hips, and the deep foundational structures of your body. In the Cycle of Fifths system, this same frequency connects to the throat chakra—communication and authentic expression.

When red spinel's grounding resilience meets this intuitive frequency, something interesting happens: vision becomes embodied. Rather than insight that floats disconnected from action, this combination supports knowing that moves through your bones, wisdom you can feel in your sitting posture, clarity that doesn't abandon the body to reach the mind.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 223 Hz. Using A=440 as reference—the universal standard for modern instruments—it plays A+10 cents. (Using A=432 as reference, this same frequency is A#-45 cents.)

This bowl is categorized as Concert Pitch because its frequency falls within ±10 cents of A=440. Like a piano tuned to concert pitch, this bowl will sound in tune when played alongside guitars, keyboards, orchestras, or any instrument using standard tuning. If you play with other musicians, want your bowl to blend with recorded music, or simply appreciate the precision of universal tuning, this compatibility makes integration effortless.

(For fine adjustment, adding water to the bowl lowers the pitch slightly—a technique some use to dial in precise intervals when playing with other instruments.)

THE SIZE

At 10 inches, this bowl produces octave 3 tones with very long sustain—sound that continues resonating well after you've stopped playing, filling a room and settling into the body over time. The deep, penetrating volume makes it ideal for large group settings, ceremonial spaces, yoga studios, or living rooms where you want sound to reach everyone present. This size also works beautifully for classroom transitions, team meeting openings, or any space where multiple people need to arrive in the same moment together.

The 10-inch diameter allows red spinel's grounding quality to express with full weight and presence, while the octave 3 resonance naturally targets the deep body—pelvis, hips, legs, and your foundational connection to earth. This is a bowl that asks you to sit down, feel your sitting bones, and remember you have a body.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when you're running on fumes. When the to-do list has become a treadmill with no off switch. When you've given so much that you've forgotten how to receive, even from yourself. Red spinel doesn't lecture or demand—it simply creates conditions for replenishment.

Begin by sitting comfortably with the bowl in front of you or resting on your lap. Take three breaths, feeling your weight settle into whatever supports you. When you play the bowl, notice where the sound lands in your body—many people feel it in their hips, their belly, the base of their spine. Let the long sustain do its work; you don't need to play continuously. One strike, then listening. Another strike, then listening. This bowl teaches patience. Use it before demanding workdays, after difficult conversations, when helping children settle for homework or bed, before athletic competition or after intense training, at the opening of team meetings when everyone arrives scattered, or simply when you need to remember that you are here, embodied, allowed to take up space.

Each Divine Bowls singing bowl includes a pure quartz mallet wrapped in premium silicone for optimal resonance, plus a silicone O-ring for stable playing on hard surfaces. Every bowl is formed in a single seamless vessel from 99.995% pure quartz—no welds, no weak points—built to last lifetimes of use.

INVITATION

You've been running on fumes long enough that you've forgotten what full feels like. Not dramatic burnout—just the slow leak of giving more than you take in, day after day, until "fine" becomes your ceiling instead of your floor.

This bowl doesn't ask you to transcend that. It asks you to sit down and feel your sitting bones. To remember you have hips, a pelvis, legs that connect you to ground older than your anxiety. Red spinel spent two thousand years in crowns, mistaken for ruby, holding the weight of empires—and it simply endured. When it meets the intuitive frequency of A at 223 Hz, the result is vision that doesn't float above your body but moves through your bones.

This is the bowl for the morning before the presentation when your nervous system hums like an overtightened wire. For the athlete rebuilding stamina after injury. For the parent who needs three minutes of their own before bedtime negotiations begin. For anyone who's forgotten that rest isn't earned—it's required.
