ESSENCE

I am the stone that remembers being soft. When you've been holding yourself together for too long—when transformation feels like something you should have finished by now—I am the patient presence that says: there is no deadline for becoming. This bowl holds the metamorphic wisdom of serpentine and augite, minerals that learned change the slow way, grain by grain under pressure. I don't rush. I don't perform. I simply create conditions where you might remember how to be heavy, how to exhale, how to let the old skin release in its own time.

THE ELEMENT

Devalite is a metamorphic rock formed when serpentine and augite blend under the influence of hydrous magma fluids deep within the earth. Serpentine contributes magnesium-rich silicates with a waxy, fibrous texture, while augite adds calcium magnesium pyroxene for structural strength. The result is an earthy green to yellow-brown stone with the feel of smooth river rock—a material that carries the memory of transformation in its very structure.

This stone's components have accompanied human healing for millennia. Ancient Egyptians carved serpentine amulets for protection; Classical Greeks ground similar stones into powders for medicinal use. Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest carved serpentine into ritual objects for spiritual communion, recognizing its connection to the serpent's wisdom of shedding and renewal. Across traditions, stones in this family have been associated with the heart chakra, detoxification, and the patient work of releasing what no longer serves.

When devalite 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 element's unique microstructure is woven into the quartz itself, which is why people often describe this bowl's tone as having an earthy weight, a grounded quality that settles into the body rather than floating above it. The serpentine energy within devalite traditionally supports emotional release that doesn't require performance or catharsis—the kind of letting go that happens while doing dishes, or finally crying about something from years ago.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in D at 577 Hz, resonating with the sacral chakra in the Western diatonic system. The D frequency carries the energetic quality of creativity, flow, and emotional processing, vibrating through your torso, chest cavity, and core. In the Cycle of Fifths system, this frequency also connects to the heart center—creating a bridge between emotional creativity and compassionate presence.

When devalite's patient, grounding energy meets this creative frequency, something particular happens: the bowl supports emotional movement without forcing it. The sacral center governs how we process feelings, adapt to change, and allow things to flow through us rather than getting stuck. Devalite's metamorphic wisdom—its understanding that real transformation happens slowly, under pressure, grain by grain—meets D's invitation to feel and release. People often notice a settling quality when they hear this bowl, as if their body finally has permission to be heavy.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 577 Hz. Using A=432 as reference, it plays D+1—essentially a true-tone D in that system. Using A=440 as reference, this same frequency is D-30.

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 D+1, meaning when using A=432 as your reference, this bowl plays almost exactly on the D note—the same physical frequency, just labeled differently depending on which reference system 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 8 inches, this bowl produces fourth-octave tones with medium-long sustain—meaning each strike or rim-play continues resonating long enough to settle into, without overwhelming a space. The full, projecting volume makes it ideal for small to medium groups: a therapy room, a yoga class, a family living room, a team meeting, or a classroom transition moment. This size travels well between rooms and fits comfortably on a desk, bedside table, or meditation cushion.

The 8-inch diameter allows devalite's grounding qualities to express with warmth and presence—substantial enough to feel anchoring, intimate enough for personal work. The fourth-octave resonance naturally targets the core and torso, supporting the sacral and heart areas where emotional processing lives in the body.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when you're tired of rushing your own transformation. When you've been holding yourself together and need permission to finally set something down. When emotional release feels stuck—not because you're avoiding it, but because it hasn't been ready to move. This is the bowl for the long middle of change, the unsexy work of integration, the daily choice to keep softening.

Begin simply: place the bowl on a stable surface or hold it in your palm. Strike it once and breathe. Notice where the sound lands in your body—many people feel this frequency in their chest or belly. You might place your other hand on your heart or lower abdomen as the tone sustains. There's no right way to do this. A teacher might play it during classroom transitions to help students settle. A parent might use it before homework time when everyone's nervous systems are frayed. An athlete might play it during recovery, letting the sound support the body's natural process of releasing what the competition required. A caregiver might play it for three minutes before visiting an aging parent—a reset before giving more.

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

You've been holding yourself together for a long time now.

Maybe it's been weeks. Maybe years. Maybe you've gotten so good at it that you forgot there was another option—until you read about a stone that remembers being soft, and something in your chest recognized the invitation.

This bowl doesn't ask you to have it all figured out. It doesn't care if you've never played a singing bowl before, or if you're a seasoned practitioner, or if you're just someone who needs three minutes of permission to finally exhale. Devalite speaks to the part of you that's tired of performing transformation—the part that knows real change happens slowly, in the unsexy middle, grain by grain. The D frequency creates space for whatever needs to move through your body without forcing it. The fourth octave settles into your core like finally sitting down after standing all day.
