What is the difference between the clear and the matte version?
Standard crystal singing bowls have a white matte surface because the quartz sand is melted. The clear version is translucent and glass-like, made by a special process. The sound stays deep and sustained, but the visual appearance is much more striking.
Where does the material come from?
The bowl is made of pure quartz raw material, melted at a higher temperature than the matte version. This makes the wall transparent. The C base note is linked to the root chakra by tradition, and may support a sense of safety.
How do you use it most effectively?
Sit comfortably and place the bowl on a soft mat. Circle the mallet slowly around the rim and notice how the tone builds. The translucent wall lets light pass through, giving a nice visual experience as well.
What to watch for during storage?
Clear quartz is more sensitive to scratches than the matte version, so wipe it with a soft cloth and do not place it on rough surfaces. Store it in a padded box or lined holder. For dust, wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
Who do we recommend it to?
We recommend it to you if you seek a visually striking tool for your practice room, or if your clients want an installation that is also visually engaging. The clear quartz bowl provides smooth sound along with a beautiful look. The clear version is especially attractive during evening practice or demonstrations. Placing a dim lamp or a candle next to it gives a beautiful play of light that enhances the experience for many of your clients. Because of the visual effect, leave open space around it on your shelf or table.
