ESSENCE

I am the stone that doesn't hold shadows—I metabolize them. When you've been circling the same idea without landing, when your confidence has gone quiet, when abundance feels possible but distant, I create the conditions for movement. Not through force, but through clarity. I burn off the fog around your worthiness without drama, revealing what was always underneath: your own radiant capability, ready to act.

THE ELEMENT

Citrine is a variety of quartz colored by trace iron inclusions that activate under intense heat during formation. Its golden hues range from pale champagne to deep amber, emerging from volcanic cavities where silica-rich fluids cooled slowly around those iron traces. Natural citrine is genuinely rare—most specimens on the market are heat-treated amethyst—but the essence remains constant: this is a stone of transmutation, turning what weighs you down into what lifts you forward.

The name comes from the French word for lemon, citron, honoring that characteristic golden glow. Ancient Egyptians carved it into protective amulets. Greek and Roman healers valued it against poisons and stagnant energy. Medieval merchants called it the "success stone," carrying it as a talisman for prosperity—not through magic, but through the focused intention it seemed to support. In Ayurvedic tradition, citrine stimulates the manipura (solar plexus), enhancing willpower and digestive fire. Chinese feng shui practitioners place it to attract abundance and balance earth-fire elements.

When citrine is infused into quartz crystal through Divine Bowls' proprietary process, its molecular structure integrates at the formation stage—not as a surface coating, but as part of what vibrates. The iron-trace composition contributes to the quartz's natural piezoelectric properties, generating subtle vibrations that people often describe as "warmer" or "more activating" than clear quartz alone. This is transmutation made audible: the bowl doesn't just carry citrine's energy, it sounds it.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in C# at 549 Hz, resonating with the transitional space between root and sacral chakras in the Western diatonic system. C# carries the energetic quality of emergence—movement between foundational states and creative flow. The frequency vibrates through your torso, chest cavity, and core, that central column where confidence either lives or hides.

When citrine's clarifying warmth meets this transitional note, something specific happens: the bowl supports movement through stuck places. Not bypassing difficulty, but metabolizing it. People often report feeling a gentle insistence in their solar plexus when working with this combination—like sun on closed eyelids, warming from the inside out. The frequency doesn't push; it illuminates the pathway between "I wish" and "I'm doing."

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 549 Hz. Using A=432 as reference, it plays C#+15. (Using A=440 as reference, this same frequency is C#-15.)

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 to help musicians know exactly how this bowl fits their setup.

(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—enough presence to fill a room, enough gentleness for personal work. The full, projecting volume makes it versatile: equally at home on a bedside table for morning intention-setting, in a conference room before a team meeting, at a massage therapist's station, or in a classroom during transition times. This size allows citrine's activating quality to express with warmth rather than intensity, while the fourth-octave resonance naturally targets the core of the body—that space where creative energy either flows or stagnates.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when you're ready to move. When creative projects have stalled. When self-doubt loops endlessly. When you know what you want but can't seem to start. Play it before writing sessions, team brainstorms, or any moment requiring both courage and clarity. Sound it at the beginning of your workday to set intention, or use it to clear the static between tasks that require different kinds of focus.

To begin, simply strike the bowl once and listen. Notice where the sound lands in your body—many people feel it first in the solar plexus, that space between the ribs. You might place one hand there while the bowl sustains, breathing naturally, letting the frequency do its clarifying work. There's no wrong way to use this. Teachers sound it to signal transitions. Athletes play it during visualization. Parents use it to shift household energy before homework time. The bowl creates conditions; you do the work.

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 99.998% pure quartz—no welds, no weak points—built to last lifetimes of use.

INVITATION

This is a bowl for the moment before you begin. Before the meeting, the manuscript, the difficult conversation. Before you talk yourself out of the idea that's been circling. Citrine doesn't arrive with fanfare—it arrives with clarity, the kind that burns off fog without drama. What's underneath is what was always there: your own capability, ready to move.

The bowl is here. Ready to ship whenever you are.
