ESSENCE

Clarity does not always come from thinking harder. Sometimes it comes from becoming still enough to notice.

A# occupies the space between A and B, creating a tonal bridge between the Third Eye and Crown centers.

The Third Eye is associated with intuition, perception, insight, and inner awareness. The Crown is associated with contemplation, connection, and expanded awareness.

A# can therefore symbolize the transition between seeing inward and opening outward—the space where insight begins to become understanding.

The deep second-octave register reinforces this sense of spaciousness. Rather than demanding attention with a bright, immediate tone, a large low-frequency bowl can provide a substantial foundation for slower, more contemplative practices.

THE ELEMENT

Opaque Quartz has a soft, luminous appearance created by the presence of microscopic inclusions and structural characteristics within the quartz.

Unlike clear quartz, which allows more light to pass through, opaque quartz has a more diffuse, grounded visual quality. Its appearance naturally lends itself to symbolism around stillness, depth, simplicity, and inward reflection.

Quartz has been valued for centuries for its beauty, clarity, and distinctive crystalline structure. In a singing bowl, its purity and durability make it an excellent material for producing sustained resonance.

The opaque character gives this bowl its own visual identity, combining the substantial presence of a large quartz bowl with a softer, more understated appearance.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in A# at 116 Hz, corresponding to the Third Eye → Crown transition within the Divine Bowls Western Diatonic Chakra System.

A# bridges A, associated with the Third Eye, and B, associated with the Crown. Symbolically, this creates a space between perception and expanded awareness.

At -12 cents, the bowl falls within our A=432 Natural Tuning range.

Its second-octave A# gives the bowl a deep, substantial voice that works particularly well as a foundation beneath higher-octave bowls.

THE TUNING

This bowl falls within our A=432 Natural Tuning range.

Natural Tuning is associated within the Divine Bowls system with organic, flowing, harmonious, soothing, and nature-connected qualities.

At -12 cents, Bowl #3173 sits within the Natural Tuning range and has a lower tonal position relative to A=440.

If you have instruments tuned to A=432, this bowl can be incorporated into arrangements using that tuning reference.

THE SIZE

At 14 inches, this bowl produces a deep second-octave A# with substantial resonance, projection, and sustain.

Its large diameter gives the bowl a strong presence, making it particularly well suited to sound baths, group meditation, yoga spaces, and professional sound work.

The low register also makes it valuable for layering with smaller, higher-octave bowls. Its A# can provide a foundation beneath A, B, and other higher-frequency tones.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Use this bowl when you want to slow a session down and create space for deeper listening and reflection.

Its low A# can serve as an opening tone for meditation or sound baths, establishing a spacious foundation before introducing higher bowls. It can also work beautifully as a closing tone, allowing a session to settle before returning to ordinary activity.

The Third Eye → Crown positioning makes it particularly fitting for practices centered on contemplation, inner awareness, meditation, and quiet reflection.

Its A=432 Natural Tuning also makes it a useful foundation for bowl collections built around that tuning reference.

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.
