ESSENCE

I am the stone that holds the night sky in its palm. When you've swallowed words for so long you've forgotten your own voice, when the gap between what you feel and what you say has grown into silence, I settle at the hollow of your throat like a hand steadying you before you speak something that matters. I don't arrive to soothe you into quiet. I come when you're ready to stop editing yourself down to nothing.

THE ELEMENT

Lapis lazuli is a metamorphic rock formed where fire meets limestone in the mountain's heart—primarily composed of lazurite, with calcite and golden pyrite flecks scattered throughout like stars against deep azure. This stone emerges through contact metamorphism, where magma intrudes limestone over millions of years, creating the vivid blue that has captivated humans since Neolithic Afghanistan first yielded it from the Sar-e-Sang mines around 7000 BCE.

For seven thousand years, lapis has been ground into pigment for pharaohs' death masks, pressed into amulets for travelers crossing impossible mountain passes, and traded along routes where it was valued more than gold. The Sumerians carved it into cylinder seals. Renaissance masters like Vermeer paid fortunes for ultramarine pigment. Tibetan Buddhists have adorned prayer beads with it since the 7th century, believing it amplifies meditative clarity.

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 an integration at over 3,000°F. The stone's traditional association with the throat chakra and authentic expression is woven into every frequency the bowl produces. People often describe this bowl's tone as having unusual clarity and presence—a sound that seems to cut through mental noise the way lapis has always cut through the gap between knowing and speaking.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in C at 1046 Hz, resonating with the root chakra in the Western diatonic system. The C frequency carries the energetic quality of grounding and foundation, yet this particular bowl vibrates in the fifth octave—targeting the head, throat, sinuses, and upper energetic field. This creates an interesting combination: root energy expressed through the upper body, offering grounded clarity in the head space rather than scattered thinking.

When lapis lazuli's throat-opening properties meet this frequency, the synergy supports communication that comes from your foundation rather than your anxiety. People notice a settling quality—thoughts organize, words find their shape, the nervous system calms enough to speak clearly. The grounding note anchors what might otherwise become scattered expression.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 1046 Hz. Using A=440 as reference—the universal standard for modern instruments—it plays C+0, a perfect concert pitch C. (Using A=432 as reference, this same frequency is C+30.)

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, use recorded music in your sessions, or want your bowl to blend seamlessly with other instruments, 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 6 inches, this bowl produces fifth-octave tones with short to medium sustain—meaning the sound speaks clearly and then releases, creating natural rhythm for repeated playing or punctuating moments of transition. The intimate volume makes it ideal for personal practice, close work with individuals, bedside rituals, small classrooms, therapy offices, or travel. This size allows lapis lazuli's direct, clarifying energy to express with focused potency rather than diffusing across large spaces, while the upper-octave resonance naturally targets the head and throat—precisely where this stone has always done its work.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when you need to speak something that matters—before a difficult conversation, while preparing a presentation, when journaling words you've never said aloud, or simply when you notice the familiar tightness of swallowed truth. You don't need training or technique. Strike or rim the bowl and let the sound settle at your throat. Notice where the vibration catches or flows freely. Some people hum along, feeling where their voice meets the bowl's frequency.

Teachers might play this bowl before classroom discussions where honest participation matters. Writers can sound it before sitting down to draft, letting the tone clear the debris of self-editing. Team leaders might open meetings with a single strike, creating a moment of collective presence before difficult decisions. Parents can use it to help children find words for big feelings. Athletes preparing for interviews or post-game press can center with it. Anyone who gives presentations, leads workshops, or speaks publicly will find this bowl a useful companion for the moments before stepping into visibility.

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

The bowl that holds the night sky knows something about the words you've been swallowing. Lapis doesn't arrive to make you eloquent—it settles at your throat like a steadying hand before you speak the thing that matters. The grounding note of C, vibrating through your head and upper body, creates the conditions for truth that comes from your center instead of scattering from your surface. This is the bowl for the difficult conversation you're preparing for, the presentation that requires your full voice, the morning you need to hear yourself clearly before the day asks anything of you. 

It doesn't care if you're a seasoned sound healer or someone who's never touched a singing bowl—it recognizes the shake in your voice before important words, and it knows what to do about it.
