This iolite crystal singing bowl sounds in A at 214 Hz, resonating with the third eye chakra and the deep body—pelvis, hips, and foundational connection to earth. Iolite supports clarity of inner vision and purposeful direction during times of confusion or transition. When third eye frequency meets the Viking's compass stone in a grounding octave, the experience is intuitive knowing that anchors through the body rather than floating above it.

BEST FOR

• Finding direction during career transitions or life crossroads
• Sound healers facilitating third eye activation and visionary work
• Students and professionals needing mental clarity through fog
• Morning meditation practice for setting daily intention
• Those in recovery seeking their own inner compass
• Yoga teachers guiding classes through introspective sequences
• Anyone navigating anxiety that masquerades as intuition

ESSENCE

I am the stone that knows the way home when the sky offers no answers. When you've lost your sense of direction—when the fog has rolled in and you can't remember what you're moving toward—I don't hand you a map. I help you relocate your own navigation system. This bowl holds iolite crystallized within quartz walls, sounding at the frequency of intuition in an octave that grounds through your sitting bones: an invitation to see clearly while remaining fully embodied.

THE ELEMENT

Iolite is a magnesium aluminum silicate mineral that forms deep within metamorphic rock under conditions of intense pressure and heat. Its most remarkable physical property is pleochroism—the rare ability to display three distinct colors depending on viewing angle: violet-blue, light gray, and deep indigo. This optical phenomenon made iolite invaluable to Viking navigators, who used thin slices of the stone to locate the sun's position through heavy cloud cover. They called it the "Viking's Compass," and it guided Norse ships across open waters for centuries.

The gemstone's connection to navigation extends beyond the physical. Traditional practitioners have long associated iolite with the third eye chakra, employing it to support clarity of inner vision, discernment between fear and genuine knowing, and the capacity to hold complexity without forcing premature certainty. It appears in practices designed to facilitate astral journeying, past-life exploration, and the integration of intuitive insight with practical grounding.

Divine Bowls' proprietary process integrates iolite at the molecular level during formation—not as surface decoration, but as part of the quartz's crystalline structure. When you play this bowl, that iolite microstructure vibrates, carrying the stone's clarifying energy through sound. People working with iolite-infused bowls often report a cooling, settling quality—like evening air after a day of mental spinning.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in A at 214 Hz, resonating with the third eye chakra in the Western diatonic system. The A frequency carries the energetic quality of intuition, wisdom, and vision, vibrating through your pelvis, hips, and foundational connection to earth. This is an Octave 3 bowl—its deep, penetrating tone creates very long sustain that fills large spaces and settles into the body's lowest centers.

When iolite's clarifying energy meets this grounding frequency, something particular happens: vision anchors. The third eye opens not upward and out, but downward and in—rooted through the sitting bones, connected to earth even while perceiving beyond ordinary sight. You may notice thoughts settling like sediment in still water, leaving clarity where confusion lived. The bowl doesn't force insight. It creates conditions where your own inner compass can finally be heard.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 214 Hz, placing it in our Grounding range—its frequency sits below concert pitch, producing a warmer, more organic quality with a gentle settling energy.

Grounding bowls like this one are good for deep relaxation, meditation, and foundational work. Many people find frequencies in this range feel easier on the nervous system, with a quality that settles into the body rather than floating above it. The tone invites you down rather than pulling you up.

(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—one strike continues resonating while you breathe, settle, and simply receive. The deep, penetrating volume fills large spaces effortlessly, making it ideal for group sound baths, yoga studios, ceremonial gatherings, or any room where you want sound to reach everyone present. It also transforms a living room into a sanctuary. This size allows iolite's clarifying energy to express with full, unhurried depth—the vision-supporting qualities unfold slowly rather than arriving all at once. The low octave naturally targets the pelvis, hips, and foundational body, grounding intuitive work through physical sensation.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when the mental fog has rolled in. When you're facing a decision and can't locate your own knowing. When anxiety keeps masquerading as intuition and you need help distinguishing between the two. Play it at the start of your morning to set intention for the day ahead, or at the close of a long workday to release accumulated mental noise. Teachers might use it to settle a classroom before a test or transition between subjects. Athletes preparing for competition can use it to quiet the mind while staying grounded in the body. Before an important presentation or difficult conversation, a few minutes with this bowl creates the conditions for clarity without forcing answers.

Start simply: strike the bowl once and listen until the sound fades completely. Notice where you feel the vibration—your hips, your sitting bones, the base of your spine. Let your breath slow to match the sustain. You don't need technique or training. The bowl does its work; your job is to receive. Over time, you might notice thoughts settling like sediment in still water, or a sense of direction emerging where confusion lived. Trust what comes.

INVITATION

Some mornings the fog is literal. Some mornings it's the kind that lives behind your eyes—where you know you have a direction but can't quite locate it, where anxiety keeps wearing intuition's clothes and you've stopped being able to tell them apart.

This bowl doesn't hand you a map. It does what iolite has done for a thousand years of open-water crossings: it creates conditions where you can find the sun yourself.

It's here. For the teacher who needs to find center before thirty small humans arrive. For the person in recovery relocating their own navigation system. For the executive who has a decision to make and can't hear their own knowing over the noise. For anyone standing at a crossroads in fog.

The bowl doesn't require you to be lost. It doesn't require you to be found. It's simply available—cool, steady, ready to help you see what's already true.
