This galena crystal singing bowl sounds in A at 219 Hz, resonating with the third eye chakra and the deep body—pelvis, hips, legs, and foundational connection to earth. Galena supports grounding, nervous system regulation, and embodied presence. When the third eye's intuitive frequency meets earth's densest mineral anchor, the experience is vision that stays rooted in the body rather than floating away.

• Grounding meditation and nervous system regulation
• Executives centering before high-stakes decisions
• Athletes preparing for competition or post-game recovery
• Sound healers supporting clients through anxiety or overwhelm
• Students seeking focus for exams and deep concentration
• Those who live "in their heads" and need to land in their bodies
• Creating calm for overstimulated children at homework or bedtime

ESSENCE

I am the weight you've been missing. When your thoughts scatter like leaves in wind, when the world spins too fast and your feet forget the ground beneath them, I am the dense silver presence that says: here—right here—this is real. This bowl holds galena's ancient steadiness crystallized within quartz walls, sounding at the frequency of intuition and inner knowing. An invitation to see clearly while staying firmly planted.

THE ELEMENT

Galena is lead sulfide—one of the densest minerals on earth, forming in perfect cubic crystals deep within hydrothermal veins and ancient limestone beds. Its silvery metallic luster catches light like fresh-cut metal, bright as a promise kept. With a specific gravity of 7.5, galena is nearly eight times denser than water. You feel that weight immediately. That small recalibration—that's where the work begins.

Humans have worked with galena since 3000 BCE, smelting it for tools and temple roofs, grinding it into kohl to line Egyptian eyes, trading it across continents. Indigenous peoples of the Great Lakes region mined galena from Missouri's Lead Belt for ceremonial items, viewing it as an earth gift for protection. This is a mineral that knows what it means to be useful—to anchor the practical and the sacred in equal measure.

When galena 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 mineral's grounding signature is woven into every frequency the bowl produces, which is why people often describe this bowl's tone as "heavier" or "more anchored" than clear quartz alone. Galena creates conditions for presence. When electromagnetic chaos frays your edges, when anxiety lifts you out of your skin, this element extends a simple invitation: come back. The earth is still here. You are still held.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in A at 219 Hz, resonating with the third eye chakra in the Western diatonic system. The A frequency carries the energetic quality of intuition, wisdom, and inner vision, vibrating through your pelvis, hips, legs, and sitting bones—the foundational structures that connect you to earth.

Here is the paradox this bowl resolves: third eye frequencies often lift people upward, toward insight and expanded awareness. But galena's dense, grounding presence anchors that vision in the body. When you work with this bowl, you may notice that clarity arrives not as floating abstraction but as felt knowing—intuition that lands in your bones, wisdom you can act on because your feet are still on the ground.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 219 Hz. Using A=432 as reference, it plays A+24 cents. (Using A=440 as reference, this same frequency is A-15 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 how this bowl's note translates between reference systems—the same sound, just labeled differently depending on which tuning standard you use.

(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—meaning each strike continues resonating for an extended period, allowing sound to settle deeply into the body and fill a space completely. The deep, penetrating volume makes it ideal for large group settings, ceremonial gatherings, yoga studios, conference rooms, or any space where sound needs to reach and hold many people at once.

This size allows galena's substantial, anchoring quality to express with full authority, while the low octave 3 resonance naturally targets the deep body—pelvis, hips, legs, and your foundational connection to earth. For home use, this bowl becomes a room-defining presence. For professional settings, it provides the sonic foundation that other instruments can build upon.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when you've been scattered across too many obligations, when your nervous system hums like an overtightened wire, when you need to stop spinning and start landing. It serves the executive before a board presentation, the athlete visualizing before competition, the student whose racing thoughts won't let them focus, the parent who needs three minutes of stillness after the children are finally asleep.

Begin simply: strike the bowl once and let the sound wash over you. Notice where the vibration lands in your body—many people feel it in their hips, their legs, the soles of their feet. You don't need to meditate or achieve any particular state. Just listen. Let your weight settle. For deeper work, place the bowl on the floor and sit nearby, allowing the low frequencies to travel through the ground into your sitting bones. In group settings, this bowl naturally anchors a sound bath, providing the bass foundation that helps everyone in the room feel held. Teachers use it to transition classrooms from chaos to focus. Teams use it to begin meetings with collective presence rather than scattered attention.

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 lift you up. This one brings you back down.

Galena is the densest mineral that finds its way into a singing bowl—nearly eight times heavier than water, formed in perfect cubic crystals deep in the earth. That weight translates into sound that lands differently. People describe it as feeling the tone in their hips, their legs, the soles of their feet. Not floating. Grounded.

This is a bowl for the scattered morning, the racing mind before the exam, the body that forgot how to settle. For the executive who needs three minutes before walking into the room. For the parent who finally got everyone to sleep and needs to land somewhere quiet. For anyone who's been living a few inches above their own life and wants to come back.

It's here. Dense, bright, unhurried. Available if you want it.
