This Purpurite crystal singing bowl sounds in A#/B at 476 Hz, resonating with the third eye and crown chakras and vibrating through the torso, chest, and heart center. Purpurite supports emotional release, intuitive clarity, and the slow transformation of buried pain into embodied wisdom. When this frequency of transcendent knowing meets a mineral born from oxidation and patient change, the result is grounded revelation—spiritual insight that anchors in the body rather than floating above it.

ESSENCE

I am the stone that knows what it means to transform in darkness. When you've been carrying something too long—when the words you need are stuck somewhere between knowing and speaking—I am the patient presence that says: take your time. This bowl holds the medicine of slow becoming, the frequency of transcendent awareness meeting a mineral that spent millennia learning how breakdown can birth radiance.

THE ELEMENT

Purpurite is a manganese phosphate mineral, its deep violet-to-rose coloring created by manganese ions stabilized within an orthorhombic crystal structure. Unlike minerals that form as primary crystals, Purpurite emerges through oxidation—a secondary creation born when iron-rich phosphates in granite pegmatites meet time, pressure, and air. This origin story of transformation through breakdown is woven into everything this mineral offers.

First documented in 1905 when geologists identified it in North Carolina pegmatites, Purpurite takes its name from the Latin purpura for its striking purple hue. Primary deposits are found in Namibia's Usakos mines, the Czech Republic's Moravia region, Western Australia, and the United States. The mineral's formation—always as a consequence of something else changing—gives it a particular resonance with those navigating their own processes of becoming.

When Purpurite is infused into quartz crystal through Divine Bowls' proprietary process, its molecular structure integrates at the formation level—not as a surface coating, but as part of what vibrates. The mineral's patient, transformative signature becomes woven into every frequency the bowl produces. People often describe this bowl's tone as having unusual depth and groundedness, a quality that invites you to stay present with whatever is moving through you rather than rushing toward resolution.

In contemporary wellness practice, Purpurite is valued for supporting emotional purification and intuitive development. It works primarily in the corridor between crown and throat—that tender space where vision struggles to find voice. When you work with this mineral, you're invited into grounded revelation: the courage to speak what you've been quietly understanding, the permission to release old emotional sediment without losing your footing.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in A#/B at 476 Hz, resonating at the transition point between third eye and crown chakras in the Western diatonic system. This frequency carries the energetic quality of transcendent knowing and cosmic awareness, vibrating through your torso, chest cavity, and heart center. The A#/B note occupies a liminal space—neither fully one thing nor another—which mirrors Purpurite's own nature as a mineral of transformation and becoming.

When Purpurite's patient, grounding energy meets this frequency of expanded consciousness, something particular happens: spiritual insight becomes embodied rather than abstract. The crown opens, but the body stays present. You might notice thoughts clarifying, emotional weight shifting, or words finally forming for what you've been sensing but couldn't articulate.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 476 Hz. Using A=440 as reference, it plays A#+35 cents. (Using A=432 as reference, this same frequency is B-35 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 joyful expansion. The slightly elevated pitch creates an uplifting, clarifying resonance that many find energizing—a quality that balances beautifully with Purpurite's grounding, patient nature.

(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 6 inches, this bowl produces fourth-octave tones with short to medium sustain—meaning the sound speaks clearly, then releases, creating natural space between strikes. The intimate volume makes it ideal for personal practice, bedside rituals, close bodywork, therapy sessions, or anywhere you want sound that stays present without overwhelming a space. This size travels well, fitting easily into a bag for retreat weekends, office use, or moving between rooms at home.

The compact form allows Purpurite's grounding qualities to express with focused intensity, while the fourth-octave resonance naturally targets the upper body and head. For those working with emotional release or intuitive development, this size creates a personal, potent container—sound that meets you where you are rather than projecting across a room.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when you're ready to give voice to something you've been quietly understanding—when intuition needs a bridge to articulation. It serves moments of emotional processing, creative blocks, pre-exam centering, or any transition where you're releasing what no longer serves while not quite knowing what comes next.

Begin simply: place the bowl on its O-ring, take three slow breaths, and strike once. Let the sound move through your chest and throat. Notice what arises without trying to name it immediately. You might place your free hand on your heart or throat as you listen. This bowl responds well to slower, more deliberate playing—matching its medicine of patient transformation. Try it during morning journaling to clarify overnight insights, before difficult conversations to find your true words, or at day's end to release what you've been carrying. Parents find it helpful for calming anxious children; athletes use it for processing competition pressure; writers reach for it when words feel stuck.

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

Some bowls arrive like lightning. This one arrives like the slow purple of a bruise finally healing—not rushing you toward anything, just holding steady while you find your own words.

Purpurite knows what it means to become something new through breakdown. It spent millennia transforming in darkness before emerging this particular shade of violet. That patience is what vibrates when you play it. Not pressure. Not urgency. Just the quiet company of something that understands slow work.

This bowl is available. For the 5am kitchen before anyone else wakes. For the therapy office between sessions. For the student who needs to focus, the writer who needs to unstick, the parent who needs three minutes of something that asks nothing back. It doesn't care about your credentials or your vocabulary. It cares about resonance—and whether you want some.
