10" Crystal Quartz Pyramid | Attention Instrument for Practitioners
An instrument desired to bring and sharpen attention in a given moment, the presence creator. The 10 inch Crystal Pyramid is available now. This is a complement to the bronze or full-toned crystal singing bowls that you use, to create wonderful contrast.
The Sound
The 10 inch quartz pyramid rings in the upper sixth octave with a bright, bell-like clarity that cuts cleanly through a room. You'll hear the "modulating" in the sound recordings because we love spinning it, and it throws the sound around in interesting ways.
You'll hear tones that are a whole step apart.
In Western musical grammar it reads as unresolved. That tension is the instrument's signature.
The pyramid is not designed to slow you or your clients down, It is designed to hold the ear in a state of active listening.
It's a pyramid made of straight quartz rods. The quartz itself, fused from 99.99% pure crystal, has an exceptionally high internal quality factor, which is the physical property that lets each partial keep ringing after the strike instead of damping out quickly.
Listen to the audio sample to hear its character.
The Pyramid
Built from 99.99% pure quartz, the same material grade as our crystal singing bowls. The 10 inch specification refers to the length of each quartz rod that forms the pyramid's edges.
Each piece is individually made, and the exact pitches and partial structure vary piece to piece within the same register profile. No two sound identical.
How Practitioners Use It
The upper-sixth-octave dominance, the unresolved whole-step interval, and the gamma-range acoustic modulation all point in the same direction.
This is an instrument oriented toward attention rather than relaxation.
Gamma frequencies in this range are tracked by the auditory cortex and are associated with sensory processing and cognitive focus. That makes it the right instrument for the moments around a deep relaxation passage, rather than the passage itself.
Use it at the opening of a session to anchor presence and mark the start of focused time.
Use it between instruments or phases as a transitional marker.
Use it at the closing to bring a client back into alert awareness after extended low-frequency work.
For one-on-one near-head application, the high register is directional, so position it within about half a meter of the listener rather than across the room.
Layered with low-frequency instruments like gongs and large singing bowls, it fills the upper overtone space those instruments barely touch and adds productive tension to what would otherwise be a purely consonant field.
