This epidote crystal singing bowl sounds in A# at 235 Hz, resonating at the threshold between the third eye and crown chakras while grounding through the pelvis, hips, and lower spine. Epidote supports slow, embodied transformation and the patient work of becoming more aligned with what you know to be true. When a mineral born from metamorphic pressure meets a frequency that bridges knowing and transcendence, the result is sound that amplifies what's ready to shift—not by bypassing difficulty, but by helping you see it clearly enough to choose.

BEST FOR

• Emotional release and grounded transformation work
• Therapists and counselors supporting clients through long-term change
• Students and professionals navigating major life transitions
• Athletes rebuilding after injury or setback
• Those ready to face patterns they've been avoiding
• Sound healers working with grief, stagnation, or burnout
• Anyone composting old identities to make room for growth

ESSENCE

I am the green that emerges from pressure—the slow alchemy of rock surrendering to heat and time, rebuilding itself stronger. When you've outgrown something but haven't yet released it, when you sense the calcified patterns but can't quite name them, I arrive as steady presence. Not comfort. Not bypass. Just the patient amplification of what's already true, held long enough that you can finally see it clearly. I am the mineral ally for the second stage of healing: after the crisis passes, when the real work of integration begins.

THE ELEMENT

Epidote is a calcium aluminum iron silicate that forms under conditions of intense metamorphic pressure—where old rock structures break down and rebuild into something more resilient. Its characteristic pistachio-green color emerges from iron content within its crystal lattice, and it develops in environments where plagioclase and pyroxene yield to transformation. Found in the metamorphic terrains of Austria, Pakistan, Brazil, and across the American West, epidote's very name comes from the Greek "epidosis," meaning "to increase."

This quality of amplification defines epidote's role in wellness traditions. Rather than imposing external solutions, it increases the volume on what's already present—patterns, truths, intentions—so you can see them clearly enough to choose consciously. People work with epidote when they're ready to face what they've been avoiding, when spiritual platitudes no longer satisfy and they need support for the messy, embodied work of real change. It companions grief work, the recognition of outgrown relationships or beliefs, and the slow metabolizing of difficulty into strength.

When epidote 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 level of formation. The mineral's grounding signature weaves into every frequency the bowl produces. This is why people often describe epidote bowls as having a "heavier" or more anchored quality—the sound carries the weight of metamorphic patience, the knowing that authentic transformation takes time.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in A# at 235 Hz, resonating at the transition between the third eye and crown chakras in the Western diatonic system. The A# frequency carries an energetic quality of transcendent knowing—cosmic awareness that doesn't float away from the body but moves through it. At 235 Hz, vibration travels through the pelvis, hips, sitting bones, and lower spine, creating a grounding anchor even as the note reaches toward higher perception.

When epidote's patient, amplifying nature meets this threshold frequency, something interesting happens. The bowl doesn't push you toward transcendence or pull you into pure groundedness—it holds the tension between them. People notice this as a quality of seeing clearly while remaining embodied, of accessing insight without losing connection to their actual life and circumstances.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 235 Hz. Using A=440 as reference, it plays A#+16 cents. (Using A=432 as reference, this same frequency is A#+46 cents.)

This bowl is categorized in the C=528 tuning because its frequency aligns with instruments tuned so that middle C equals 528 Hz—known as the "Love Frequency" in Solfeggio tradition. This brighter tuning is associated with heart-opening qualities and transformation. The slightly elevated pitch creates a clarifying resonance that supports epidote's amplifying nature—bright enough to illuminate what needs seeing, warm enough to hold you while you look.

(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—meaning each strike continues resonating for extended periods, allowing sound to build and layer in ways smaller bowls cannot achieve. The deep, penetrating volume fills large spaces naturally, making it equally suited for group ceremonies, yoga studios, and living rooms where you want sound to reach every corner.

This size allows epidote's patient, unflinching quality to express with full weight. The extended sustain mirrors the mineral's geological timeframe—unhurried, steady, giving you space to notice what arises rather than rushing toward resolution. The octave 3 resonance naturally targets the foundational body, grounding the transformative work in physical sensation rather than abstract concept.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when you're ready for honest seeing—not crisis intervention, but the sustained work of integration. It serves the long middle of any journey: after initial inspiration fades, when the real labor of change begins. Play it when you sense patterns you've outgrown but haven't released, when you need support for facing rather than bypassing.

Position the bowl on the floor or a stable surface and let its deep tones rise through your body. Notice where you feel the vibration settle—often the hips, pelvis, or lower back. Breathe without agenda. This bowl doesn't require technique; it asks only for honest presence. You might use it before difficult conversations, during transitions between life chapters, as part of weekly reflection practice, or when supporting others through their own metamorphic processes. Teachers find it useful for helping students face challenging material; coaches use it to support athletes rebuilding after setback; therapists play it during sessions focused on long-term pattern work rather than acute crisis.

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 99.998% pure quartz—no welds, no weak points—built to last lifetimes of patient, transformative work.

INVITATION

This bowl won't tell you you're ready. It won't assume you've been seeking something or that your soul recognizes its frequency. It's a 10-inch piece of quartz infused with a mineral that forms under pressure, and it sounds a note that travels through your hips and lower spine while reaching toward something harder to name.

Epidote amplifies what's already there. If you're avoiding something, it'll get louder. If you're building something, it'll get clearer. That's not magic—it's just what happens when you give yourself ten inches of sustained resonance and nowhere to hide.

Maybe you're a therapist between clients. Maybe you're a teacher who needs three minutes before the bell. Maybe you're someone who bought a singing bowl once, forgot about it, and is wondering why you're still reading this one. The bowl doesn't care about your credentials or your reasons. It ships from Ohio. It comes with a mallet. It does exactly what it does.

If that's useful to you, it's here.
