K2 is a type of granite composed primarily of a blend of Quartz, Feldspar, and a unique mix of minerals, including Azurite and white Calcite. The most distinctive feature of K2 is its vibrant blue spots, which are typically Azurite, accenting the light-colored Granite. This combination of colors creates a stunning contrast, making K2 a popular choice for jewelry and carvings.
K2 is named after the mountain "K2", the second-highest peak in the world, located in the Karakoram range of Pakistan and China. The mountain was named K2 by British surveyors in the 19th century, with the "K" denoting its location in the Karakoram range and "2" indicating it was the second peak surveyed. Its a rare gem as its only sourced from a single location in Pakistan, specifically from the foothills of the K2 mountain range in the Skardu district.
K2 is primarily composed of granite, which forms from the slow crystallization of magma beneath the Earth's surface. This process allows for the growth of large crystals. As the granite forms, copper-rich fluids can infiltrate the rock. When these fluids interact with the granite, they can precipitate minerals like Azurite and Malachite. The specific geological conditions, including pressure, temperature, and the presence of certain elements, create the ideal environment for the formation of K2. Over millions of years, natural erosion processes expose K2 at the surface.
K2 is an enchanting gem of truth, spiritual development and growth. Its enlightening energy is a powerful activator of our intuitive gifts. Azurite is known as the "Stone of Heaven" and Granite is powerful stone of grounding and Earth connection. Naturally formed together on one of the highest mountains in the world, K2 helps us channel divine wisdom, healing and love. Its high vibrational frequency helps awaken and rapidly enhance our spiritual gifts. K2 is one of the best stones for accessing the Akashic Records and discerning truths in the 3D. It awakens dormant codes in our DNA for our ascension and healing.
