Facts and information about quartz crystal singing bowls

Quartz crystal Tibetan bowls are a special kind of instrument on their own, and while they may share some things in common with their metal Tibetan bowl counterparts, they have their own separate history, properties, healing qualities, and uses. Read on to find out how quartz crystal bowls were created, how they are exceptionally special, and what they are primarily used for.

What makes them special?

The crystal singing bowls are made of pure quartz. The human body is said to have many crystalline structures, such as our bones, DNA, blood, and even certain parts of the brain, and these structures naturally resonate with quartz. Even our cells contain silica, the same substance found in quartz. These natural affinities make these crystal singing bowls heal naturally from our body. Quartz bowls, unlike their Tibetan counterparts, can also be tuned to a specific note. This makes them perfect for sound healing and specific balancing of specific chakras.

History

While Tibetan bowls have always been used for spiritual and religious purposes, crystal singing bowls have their roots in a more modern and, some would say, completely alien origin. These quartz bowls entered production in the 1980s as a by-product of the computer industry. They were used to contain computer chips that had to be heated to incredibly high temperatures. Scientists would throw them away after using them! After a while, someone realized that these crystal bowls, being made of pure quartz, must have special healing qualities and they began to purchase and sell these by-products of the computer industry on their own.

How they are made

The bowls are made by a special and quite complicated process. The purest sources of silica sand are first collected for the manufacturing process. This sand is then dropped into a centrifugal mold heated to over 4000 degrees Celsius. This process melts the sand and fuses the particles into a solid crystal. After that, the crystal is tuned to a specific note, one so strong that it is noticeable even from 2000 feet away. The sound qualities of Tibetan crystal bowls rival the highest quality instruments ever produced.

These are just a few facts about the special qualities of quartz crystal Tibetan bowls and as you explore further you are sure to find much more fascinating information about these objects.
