ESSENCE

I am the stone that holds the night sky in my hands—six thousand years of human longing crystallized in indigo and gold. When words have become dangerous, when you've swallowed so much truth that your throat aches with it, I am the substance that says: speak what is real. This bowl carries my starlit depths into sound, meeting the heart's frequency to create a bridge between what you know and what you're finally ready to voice.

THE ELEMENT

Lapis lazuli is a metamorphic rock formed where limestone met magma deep in the earth's crust—a transformation written in pressure, heat, and time. Its signature indigo comes from lazurite, while white calcite rivers and golden pyrite flecks scatter across its surface like constellations. For over six thousand years, humans have pulled this stone from the mountain veins of Afghanistan's Badakhshan Province, where the Sar-i Sang mines have yielded treasures since the Neolithic era.

This is the stone that adorned Tutankhamun's burial mask, that medieval monks ground into ultramarine pigment worth more than gold, that Tibetan Buddhists carved into prayer beads for wisdom and compassion. Across cultures, lapis has been the stone of truth-speaking—placed at the throat to ease what needs to be said, worn by those whose voices carry weight.

When lapis lazuli is infused into quartz crystal through Divine Bowls' proprietary process, its molecular structure becomes part of what vibrates—not a surface coating, but a true integration. The stone's complex composition, including sulfur compounds that give it subtle piezoelectric-like properties, creates resonance patterns unique to this infusion. People often describe this bowl's tone as having unusual depth and clarity, as if the sound itself carries the weight of ancient knowing. When you work with lapis, you're not being given words—you're being cleared of the static that prevents you from hearing your own.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in F at 348 Hz, resonating with the heart chakra in the Western diatonic system. The F frequency carries the energetic quality of compassion and balance, vibrating through your pelvis, hips, and foundational body. In the Cycle of Fifths system, this same frequency connects to root energy—grounding what the heart opens.

When lapis lazuli's truth-speaking essence meets the heart's frequency, something particular happens: honesty becomes tender rather than harsh. This isn't the frequency of blurting out whatever you feel—it's the frequency of speaking from love, of finding words that are both true and kind. People notice a settling in the chest, a softening in the jaw, as if the body is remembering that vulnerability and strength aren't opposites.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 348 Hz. Using A=440 as reference—the universal standard for modern instruments—it plays F-5 cents. (Using A=432 as reference, this same frequency is F+27 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 knowing your instrument aligns with universal standards, 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 12 inches, this bowl produces Octave 3 tones with very long sustain—each strike opens into minutes of continuous sound that fills a room and settles into the body. The deep, penetrating volume makes it ideal for large group settings, ceremonial spaces, yoga studios, and conference rooms where sound needs to reach everyone present. This size also serves beautifully in living rooms where you want the tone to envelop the space, or in therapy offices where sustained resonance supports deeper work.

This generous diameter allows lapis lazuli's ancient, patient quality to express fully—the sound doesn't hurry. The Octave 3 resonance naturally targets the lower body, creating a grounding foundation even as the heart frequency opens emotional space above.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when words matter. Before a difficult conversation, a presentation, a creative session where you need to access something true. When you've been speaking from obligation rather than authenticity, when your throat feels tight with things unsaid, when you need to hear your own voice clearly before sharing it with others.

Begin simply: strike the bowl once and let the sound fill the room. Notice where you feel it in your body—many people sense this frequency in both the chest and the lower belly, as if the sound is building a bridge between heart and ground. Place your hand at your throat if you like, not to force anything, but to bring gentle attention there. Breathe. Let the sustained tone create space around whatever needs to emerge. You might speak aloud into the sound, or simply listen. Teachers use this bowl before class to center their voice; writers play it to clear mental static before sitting down to work; parents find it helpful before conversations with teenagers that require both honesty and tenderness.

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

Good. Because lapis doesn't need you to be ready. It doesn't need you to have a practice, a plan, or a reason you can articulate. It just needs you to be someone who occasionally has something true to say—and occasionally finds that harder than it should be.

This bowl sounds in F at 348 Hz. It will fill a room. It will last longer than you expect. It was made in Ohio by people who've been forming quartz for fifty years, and it carries the molecular imprint of a stone that humans have been pulling from Afghan mountains since before writing existed.

That's what's here. Whether it's for pre-meeting centering, classroom transitions, difficult conversations you've been postponing, or simply three minutes of something beautiful before the day begins—that's yours to know.
