This stibnite crystal singing bowl sounds in F# at 754 Hz, resonating with the higher heart chakra and the chest cavity, lungs, and core. Stibnite supports deep grounding, emotional processing, and reconnection to the physical body. When this ancient mineral of descent meets the higher heart's frequency of manifestation, the experience becomes one of bringing buried truth into form—transformation that moves through the body rather than around it.

BEST FOR

• Grounding and nervous system regulation after overstimulation
• Executives and professionals centering before high-stakes decisions
• Athletes preparing for competition or processing post-game intensity
• Sound healers supporting clients through shadow work and emotional release
• Students seeking focus and embodiment during intense study periods
• Those navigating grief, trauma, or major life transitions
• Creating calm for anxious children who live "in their heads"

ESSENCE

I am the weight that holds. When you've been scattered across screens and obligations, when your nervous system hums like an overtightened wire, I am the substance that says: come back down. I don't arrive gently—I arrive like the moment you stop running and everything you've been carrying finally lands in your bones. That's not punishment. That's ground. This bowl holds the frequency of earth's hidden chambers, the metallic gleam of what forms in darkness, the invitation to inhabit your body without apology.

THE ELEMENT

Stibnite is antimony trisulfide, a sulfide mineral that crystallizes in elongated, prismatic formations deep within hydrothermal veins where temperatures reach 200°C. Its lead-gray surface catches light with an iridescent sheen—yellows, purples, blacks shifting like oil on water—while fine striations run lengthwise from natural twinning during formation. Primary deposits emerge from China's Hunan province, Japan's legendary Ichinokawa mine, and the mineral-rich veins of Peru and Bolivia. Soft enough that thin crystals can bend without breaking, stibnite embodies flexibility within structure, yielding without shattering.

For five thousand years, humans have ground this mineral into kohl, lining their eyes to enhance vision in darkness and ward off malevolent forces. Ancient Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and Romans all recognized something in stibnite's metallic gleam—a substance that belonged to the underworld yet served the living. Medieval alchemists called it "spiesglass," exploring its metallurgical potential as a gateway between states of matter. Indigenous Andean communities have long incorporated stibnite from local deposits into protective amulets, honoring its earth-emergent energy for grounding during ritual.

When stibnite 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 mineral's grounding signature weaves into every frequency the bowl produces, creating resonance patterns unique to this particular instrument. People often describe stibnite bowls as having a "heavier" or "more anchored" tone, as if the sound itself carries weight. When you work with this element, you're invited into descent rather than transcendence—the hard, necessary work of inhabiting your animal body and facing what you've buried without flinching.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in F# at 754 Hz, resonating with the higher heart chakra in the Western diatonic system. The higher heart sits between the heart and throat, governing compassion that speaks, love that takes form, truth that emerges from feeling. This frequency carries the energetic quality of manifestation and instant creation, vibrating through your chest cavity, lungs, diaphragm, and core.

When stibnite's grounding weight meets the higher heart's creative frequency, something unexpected emerges: the capacity to bring buried material into expression. This isn't light, airy manifestation—it's the kind that requires you to feel your way through shadow before anything new can take form. The bowl's tone moves through the torso like a settling, helping scattered energy consolidate into something you can work with.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 754 Hz. Using A=440 as reference, it plays F#+35 cents. Using A=432 as reference, this same frequency is G-36 cents.

This bowl is categorized in the C=528 tuning because its frequency aligns with instruments tuned so that middle C equals 528 Hz—known as the "Love Frequency" in Solfeggio tradition. While stibnite's energy pulls downward into earth and shadow, this brighter tuning lifts the mineral's grounding quality into the heart space, creating an unusual balance: descent that opens rather than closes, weight that somehow clarifies. If you have instruments tuned to C=528, this bowl will harmonize with them. The A=432 equivalent (G-36) helps musicians understand exactly where this frequency lands in that reference system—the same sound, just labeled differently.

(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 6.5 inches, this bowl produces fourth-octave tones with short to medium sustain—meaning the sound blooms quickly and settles rather than lingering indefinitely. This creates natural punctuation, moments of silence between strikes that invite presence. The intimate-to-balanced volume makes it ideal for personal practice, bedside rituals, small group settings, therapy rooms, or any space where you want sound that envelops without overwhelming. This size allows stibnite's grounding weight to express with focused intensity rather than diffusion, while the fourth-octave resonance naturally targets the chest and core—exactly where many people hold tension, grief, and unprocessed experience.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when you've been living three inches above your skin. When screens and demands have pulled you out of your body. When there's something you've been avoiding feeling, and you're finally ready to stop running. Place the bowl on a stable surface or hold it in your palm. Before striking, take one breath that travels all the way to your pelvis—not a deep breath for performance, just one that actually lands. Strike the bowl and let the sound move through your chest. Notice where it settles, where it meets resistance, where your body responds.

You might use this bowl to begin a workday when you need to be fully present for difficult conversations. To help an anxious child settle into homework by giving their scattered energy somewhere to go. To close out an intense athletic training session, letting the body process what it just did. To mark the transition between caregiving and your own rest. Some people place grounding stones nearby—black tourmaline, hematite, smoky quartz—to amplify the descent. Others simply sit with the sound and let it do what it does: remind you that you are made of the same stuff as mountains, and mountains do not apologize for taking up space.

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 99.99% pure quartz—no welds, no weak points—built to last lifetimes of use.

INVITATION

This bowl doesn't care if you're a sound healer or a software engineer, a meditation teacher or a parent who just needs one minute where no one needs anything from you. Stibnite doesn't ask for credentials. It asks if you're ready to stop floating.

Some people will read this description and feel their feet for the first time in weeks. Others will think that's interesting and move on. Both responses are correct. Not every bowl finds every person, and this one—with its metallic gleam and its invitation to descend—knows exactly who it's for.

No rush. Mountains don't hurry either.
