This opaque quartz crystal singing bowl sounds in G at 389 Hz, resonating with the throat chakra and the pelvis, hips, and lower spine. Opaque quartz—pure quartz crystal with a soft, milky luminosity—supports grounding, integration, and gentle clarity. When throat chakra frequencies meet quartz in its most accessible form, the experience is expression that stays rooted in the body rather than floating away.

• Teachers creating calm transitions in classrooms
• Sound healers supporting clients new to frequency work
• Students seeking focus for studying or exam preparation

ESSENCE

I am the stone that holds light without flaunting it. Where my clear cousins refract rainbows, I gather luminosity into something softer—dawn through fog, moonlight through winter clouds. My opacity isn't absence; it's presence made gentle. When you've been scattered across a thousand obligations, when your nervous system hums like an overtightened wire, I offer steady ground. I don't fix. I hold. And in that holding, something in you remembers how to settle.

THE ELEMENT

Quartz is silicon dioxide in its purest crystalline form—the same mineral that has rested in human hands for forty thousand years, shaped into tools, carved into amulets, ground into vessels for prayer. This bowl is formed from 99.995% pure quartz crystal, the highest grade available, making it not an "uninfused" bowl but the gemstone itself. Quartz has been called the "master healer" across traditions precisely because it carries no agenda—it amplifies whatever intention you bring.

Opaque quartz appears milky and luminous due to microscopic air inclusions distributed evenly throughout the crystal structure, much like milky quartz found in nature. During Divine Bowls' proprietary molding process, this opacity emerges naturally—some quartz wants clarity, some wants this soft, diffused quality. The result is a surface that feels like smooth river stone rather than glass, and a tone that people consistently describe as warmer and more enveloping than clear quartz.

When you work with opaque quartz, you're working with gentle amplification. It creates conditions for integration—taking whatever insights arrive during sound immersion and helping them settle into your bones, your daily choices, your quiet moments. This is the bowl for those who find clear quartz too intense, or for anyone seeking an accessible entry point into frequency work. It asks nothing of you except presence.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in G at 389 Hz, resonating with the throat chakra in the Western diatonic system. The G frequency carries the energetic quality of expression, communication, and truth—vibrating through your pelvis, hips, legs, and lower spine. This creates an interesting polarity: a throat chakra note grounding through the body's foundation.

When opaque quartz's gentle, diffusing quality meets this frequency of expression, something settles. People often notice they can speak more easily after playing this bowl—not because it forces words, but because it creates space for authentic voice to emerge from a grounded place. The 12-inch size produces third-octave tones that penetrate deeply, reaching places that higher frequencies simply pass over.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 389 Hz. Using A=432 as reference, it plays G+18 cents. Using A=440 as reference, this same frequency is G-13 cents.

This bowl is categorized in the A=432 tuning because its frequency aligns with instruments tuned to A=432 Hz—often called "Verdi tuning" or "natural tuning." Many people find A=432 produces a warmer, more organic quality that feels easier on the nervous system. If you have instruments tuned to A=432, or simply prefer this earth-connected sound, this bowl will harmonize beautifully with them. The technical specifications include an A=432 equivalent field showing G+18—this helps musicians know exactly how the bowl fits their setup.

(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 12 inches, this bowl produces third-octave tones with very long sustain—strike it once and the sound continues for what feels like a full breath cycle, then another. The deep, penetrating volume fills large rooms without effort, making it ideal for group settings, ceremonial spaces, yoga studios, and classrooms. It also works beautifully in living rooms, therapy offices, and anywhere you want sound that envelops rather than pierces.

This size allows opaque quartz's soft, grounding quality to express with full resonance. The lower octave naturally targets the body's foundation—pelvis, hips, sitting bones—creating physical sensation you can feel, not just hear. For those who live in their heads or struggle to drop into their bodies, this combination of size and element offers a direct pathway down.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when you need to come back to yourself. After a scattered day, before a difficult conversation, when anxiety has you spinning—this is the instrument that says slow down. You don't need training or technique. Simply strike the rim with the mallet and listen. Let the sound fill the room. Notice where you feel it in your body. Breathe.

For morning ritual, play three strikes before your day begins—let each tone complete before the next. For classroom transitions, a single strike signals the shift from activity to focus. For bedtime with children, the long sustain creates a natural wind-down that words cannot. For team meetings, opening with thirty seconds of this bowl's tone resets the collective nervous system before diving into agenda items. There's no wrong way to use it. The bowl creates conditions; you do the rest.

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 carrying something heavy—maybe for days, maybe longer. The kind of weight that doesn't announce itself dramatically but accumulates in your shoulders, your jaw, the space between thoughts. This bowl doesn't promise to lift it. But it offers something rarer: permission to set it down for three minutes.

Opaque quartz doesn't perform. It doesn't refract light into rainbows or demand your spiritual credentials. It just... holds. The way fog holds morning, the way river stones hold cold even after the sun finds them. When you strike this 12-inch bowl, the G frequency moves through your pelvis and hips—not as metaphor, as sensation. The kind that reminds your body it's allowed to be here, grounded, without needing to explain itself.

This is the bowl for the teacher who needs the classroom to exhale. The parent stealing five minutes before anyone else wakes. The person who keeps meaning to meditate but finds silence too loud. The one who just wants something beautiful that doesn't ask for more than they have to give.
