Andara is amorphous volcanic glass with a soda-lime composition containing trace monatomic minerals like platinum, iridium, and gold—confirmed through laboratory soil analysis from Mount Shasta deposits. Unlike obsidian (pure volcanic glass) or manufactured glass, Andara's high atomic spin rate minerals create distinct vibrational properties that practitioners use for electromagnetic field stabilization. First identified in 1967 by Choctaw medicine woman Nellie Morse Thompson, it forms through ancient volcanic activity in recognized energy vortex sites.
Andara's monatomic mineral content specifically supports electromagnetic field balancing, making it valuable for clearing accumulated static from prolonged screen exposure. Sound healers report clients feeling "less scattered" after sessions, while remote workers and executives use Andara bowls between video calls or at day's end to release the diffuse, overstimulated sensation of digital overload. The bowl creates permission for your nervous system to recalibrate without force—particularly effective when you feel electromagnetically "sticky" rather than emotionally distressed.
This bowl creates an intentional paradox—its 9-inch diameter naturally anchors through lower body and foundational energy centers, while its bright 635 Hz frequency stimulates head, throat, and crown awareness. Practitioners describe the experience as "expansion that stays tethered," allowing multidimensional perception without losing embodiment. The combination serves those navigating major transitions who need both visionary clarity and grounded presence, or sound baths where participants require lift without leaving their bodies.
This bowl at 635 Hz falls just 4 Hz below the Solfeggio 639 Hz frequency associated with heart connection and harmonious relationships—close enough to carry similar heart-opening qualities while maintaining its own distinct voice. Unlike bowls forced into exact Solfeggio pitches, this frequency emerged naturally during formation, creating what practitioners describe as "permission rather than prescription." It harmonizes beautifully with C=528 instruments, adding another layer of heart-frequency resonance without the rigid expectations some clients bring to exact Solfeggio tones.
Andara integrates at the molecular level during Divine Bowls' proprietary molding process at over 3,000°F—not as a surface coating but as unified microstructure within the quartz itself. This seamless one-piece construction, refined over 50 years of quartz manufacturing expertise, allows the volcanic glass's monatomic minerals to become part of what vibrates when the bowl is played. The result is tones with unusual shimmer and multidimensional quality that people describe as "lighter in luminosity"—a permanent infusion that won't fade, chip, or separate over lifetimes of use.
