ESSENCE

I am the stone that remembers what freedom tastes like. When your mind loops through the same worried thoughts, when invisible barriers feel permanent as walls, I settle in like dusk—bringing definition to what was blurred, creating space where insight can finally arrive. This bowl holds purpurite's slow alchemy of liberation, sounding at frequencies that reach the highest points of your awareness. I don't force breakthrough. I create the conditions where you recognize the cage was never locked.

THE ELEMENT

Purpurite is a manganese phosphate mineral, its deep violet to magenta coloring born from one of geology's patient transformations. The stone forms when lithium leaches away from lithiophilite over millennia, allowing manganese to oxidize and bloom into purple—a process that cannot be rushed. First documented in 1905 when mine superintendent J.L. Daniels discovered it in North Carolina's pegmatites, purpurite takes its name from the Latin purpura, meaning purple.

The stone's appearance tells its story: deep purple mottled with brown-black marks where iron oxidized in its own time. This isn't polished perfection—it's the beauty of becoming, evidence that transformation leaves traces. Prime specimens emerge from Namibia, the USA, Australia, and Portugal, each carrying the signature of slow change written into the body of the earth.

In contemporary wellness practices, purpurite is valued for its association with the third eye and crown chakras, traditionally used to calm anxious minds, dissolve fear-based thinking, and strengthen connection to inner wisdom. People reach for it when mental loops feel inescapable or when they sense readiness to release old patterns but need support for the transition. When purpurite is infused into quartz crystal through Divine Bowls' proprietary process, its molecular structure integrates at the deepest level—not a coating, but a fundamental weaving of the mineral's liberating signature into every frequency the bowl produces.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in A# at 942 Hz, producing fourth-octave tones that vibrate through the head, throat, sinuses, and upper energetic field. In the Western diatonic system, A# carries the energetic quality of transcendent knowing—a sharp note that activates higher mental faculties and spiritual perception, bridging intuitive wisdom with expanded awareness.

At 942 Hz, this frequency resonates near the 963 Hz Solfeggio tone associated with crown chakra awakening and connection to higher consciousness. When purpurite's liberating properties meet this elevated frequency, the combination creates an instrument specifically suited for mental clarity work—dissolving the static that clouds intuition, creating spaciousness where insight can emerge. People often describe the experience as a quieting of background mental noise, a loosening that allows them to see the shape of thoughts they've been carrying without realizing their weight.

THE TUNING

This bowl is tuned to concert pitch (A=440), sitting just 5 cents sharp of perfect A#—close enough to maintain excellent compatibility with standard tuning while adding subtle brightness to the tone. Concert pitch tuning means this bowl harmonizes naturally with pianos, guitars, and other modern instruments, making it ideal for musicians integrating sound into their creative practice or anyone who appreciates the familiar frequency foundation of contemporary music. The tuning also allows seamless pairing with other concert-pitch bowls for those building collections or layering frequencies.

THE SIZE

At 6 inches, this bowl produces fourth-octave tones with short to medium sustain—meaning each strike delivers focused, potent sound that speaks clearly without lingering indefinitely. The intimate volume makes it ideal for personal meditation, close bodywork, evening routines, or any space where precision matters more than room-filling projection. This size travels well, fitting easily into a bag for practitioners moving between locations, teachers bringing calm to different classrooms, or anyone wanting their bowl accessible wherever life takes them.

The compact form allows purpurite's clarifying energy to express with concentrated intensity, while the high-octave resonance naturally targets the upper body and crown region. For those working specifically with third eye or crown activation, this size places the frequency exactly where it's most effective—close to you, focused, and direct.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when your mind won't quiet—when the same thoughts circle without resolution, when anxiety clouds your ability to trust what you know, or when you sense you're ready to release a pattern that no longer serves. You don't need special training to work with it. Simply find a comfortable position, strike or rim the bowl, and let the sound create space in your mental landscape.

Try placing the bowl near your head during meditation, or simply let it sound in your space while you sit with eyes closed. Notice what happens in the pause between thoughts. Some people find it helpful to set a simple intention before playing: What am I ready to release? or What clarity am I seeking? The bowl won't answer for you—it creates conditions where your own wisdom can surface. Use it before studying to clear mental fog, at the start of meetings to establish collective focus, or during evening wind-down when the day's accumulated thoughts need somewhere to settle.

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 pour from 99.995% pure quartz—no welds, no weak points—built to last a lifetime of use.

INVITATION

You're still here. That means something.

Maybe you found this page because your mind won't quiet—the same thoughts circling, the same patterns playing on repeat, and you're ready for the loop to break. Or maybe you're a teacher who needs something that brings calm to a chaotic classroom, a parent seeking peace for anxious bedtimes, someone preparing for a big moment who needs mental clarity more than motivation. Purpurite doesn't care about your credentials. It recognizes the person who's ready to see the shape of what they've been carrying, who's willing to notice where they made peace with their cage. This bowl sounds at 942 Hz—high enough to reach the crown, intimate enough to work close. If you've read this far, you already know whether this frequency is calling your name.
