This Devalite crystal singing bowl sounds in D# at 561 Hz, resonating with the sacral and solar plexus chakras and vibrating through the torso, chest cavity, and core. Devalite—a rare composition of serpentine and augite from Arizona's Tonto wilderness—supports emotional release, life force renewal, and deep connection to the natural world. When earth's transformative minerals meet this mid-range frequency, the experience is one of shedding what no longer serves while staying grounded in the body.

ESSENCE

I am the green fire that rises from volcanic depths, the serpent medicine that knows how to shed. When you've been carrying weight that calcified around your ribs—old stories, inherited patterns, the exhaustion of maintaining walls that once protected but now imprison—I meet you at the threshold between holding on and letting go. I don't ask you to demolish everything at once. I work the way a snake sheds skin: systematically, naturally, when the new self underneath is already forming.

THE ELEMENT

Devalite is a distinctive crystal composition found in Arizona's Tonto National Forest, where serpentine's magnesium-rich softness interweaves with augite's iron-dark volcanic strength. The serpentine component carries characteristic green hues with snake-like fibrous patterns, while augite adds charcoal veins like lightning frozen through stone—evidence of the metamorphic pressure that formed this mineral where earth's molten heart meets transforming rock.

The name honors the Devas—nature spirits that indigenous wisdom traditions recognize in rocks, trees, waters, and wild places. Serpentine has served human transformation for over five thousand years, from Sumerian cylinder seals carved for protection to Egyptian amulets symbolizing rebirth. Indigenous peoples of the American Southwest have long revered similar greenstones for shamanic practices connecting human consciousness to the more-than-human world.

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 at over 3,000°F. The resulting microstructure carries serpentine's traditional associations with Kundalini awakening and emotional release, while augite's volcanic origin brings the fire of earth's creative force. People working with this element often report feeling supported in releasing deeply held patterns, reconnecting with natural rhythms, and rediscovering enthusiasm after periods of depletion. When you work with Devalite, you're invited to examine what you're still defending—and whether those walls still serve.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in D# at 561 Hz, resonating at the transition point between sacral and solar plexus chakras in the Western diatonic system. The D# frequency carries the energetic quality of breath, release, and transformation, vibrating through your torso, chest cavity, heart, lungs, and diaphragm—the body's center of respiratory and emotional processing.

When Devalite's shedding medicine meets this mid-body frequency, something particular happens: the sound doesn't settle in one energy center but ripples through your entire core, paying special attention to the places where you hold tension, grief, or stories you've outgrown. People often describe this combination as feeling like a deep exhale they didn't know they needed—release that moves through the body rather than bypassing it.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 561 Hz. Using A=440 as reference, it plays D#+20 cents. Using A=432 as reference, this same frequency is D-48 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. This brighter tuning is associated with heart-opening qualities and joyful expansion. The slightly elevated pitch creates an uplifting, clarifying resonance that balances Devalite's grounding earth energy with an ascending quality—transformation that rises rather than weighs down.

(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 9 inches, this bowl produces fourth-octave tones with long, generous sustain—meaning each strike continues singing, giving you time to breathe, settle, and receive without rushing to play again. The full, rich volume fills group spaces and larger rooms while remaining appropriate for personal use. This size allows Devalite's transformative qualities to express with substantial presence, while the mid-range resonance naturally targets your core and torso—the body's center of breath and emotional holding.

This bowl works beautifully in yoga studios during hip-opening sequences, therapy offices supporting release work, classrooms transitioning between intense focus and creative play, or living rooms where you need something that fills the space without overwhelming it. The 9-inch size also travels reasonably well for retreat facilitators, coaches working with teams, or anyone who moves between spaces.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when you notice yourself gripping—holding onto a story, a grudge, a version of yourself that no longer fits. It serves beautifully during life passages: career shifts, relationship endings, recovery from illness, empty nest transitions, or any moment when the old self must be honored and released to make space for what's emerging.

Begin simply. Strike or rim the bowl and place your awareness on your breath. Notice where you feel tension in your torso, your ribs, your diaphragm. You don't need to fix anything—just notice. As the sound sustains, imagine each exhale carrying something you're ready to release. Some people find it helpful to name what they're shedding silently; others prefer to let the body decide without words. Trust what arises. This bowl supports the work, but you choose the release.

Use it to open team meetings when the group needs to let go of last week's stress before focusing on what's ahead. Play it for children who are holding onto a hard day at school. Sound it in the treatment room between clients who carry heavy stories. Strike it after your own difficult conversations, long shifts, or caregiving hours. Let it mark the transition from who you were this morning to who you're becoming tonight.

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

Some mornings you need something that knows how to let go—not because you're broken, but because you're carrying more than you need to.

This bowl sounds like a deep exhale. Devalite's serpent medicine meets a D# frequency that moves through your whole torso, your ribs, the places where old stories calcify when you're not paying attention. It doesn't demand transformation. It just makes shedding easier—the way a snake doesn't struggle out of its skin, just moves forward and leaves it behind.

The 9-inch size fills a room without overwhelming it. The sustain gives you time to breathe. And the C=528 tuning lifts what might otherwise feel heavy, adding an ascending quality to the release.

Everything you need to begin.
