Clear Bowls

Clear Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls

Clear bowls are in small sizes (5 to 8 inches in diameter) and completely transparent. They produce a clear, pure note and the smaller ones are quite high pitched. Some clear bowls are capable of producing more than one note according to how low or high up the side they are played. The playing stick is a small hard rubber ball on a handle.

These are made from pieces of clear quartz tubing. A length of tubing is cut and fitted on a lathe. As the lathe slowly turns burners heat the quartz so that the shape of the crystal singing bowl is formed. This is a highly skilled process.

Clear bowls are normally played with a rubber ball stick which uses hard rubber although some people prefer to use suede covered sticks. Like the frosted bowl it sits on a rubber ring to keep it steady and make it easier to play.
