K2 Stone is a rare mineral from K2, the world’s second-highest peak. Discovered only after 2000, this unique stone features a fascinating combination of blue azurite and white granite. Due to its recent discovery, it doesn’t yet have a standardized name in the mineral community and is known in the West by various names, including K2 Stone, K2 Jade, K2 Granite, Rain Drop Azurite, Blue Dot Granite, and Azurite Granite.
What is K2 Stone?
Initially, geologists doubted the authenticity of this stone, suspecting the blue dots were artificially dyed. However, in 2013, discussions erupted at a U.S. mineralogical forum, and tests revealed that the blue spots are indeed natural. By 2017, researchers from Ashte University in the UK confirmed that the blue component is azurite, making it one of the rarest azurites in the world. The rest of the stone consists of granite, composed of quartz, feldspar, and biotite.
The striking contrast between the azurite and granite creates a captivating allure. The combination of colors (blue azurite vs. white granite), luster (glass-like azurite vs. earthy granite), and texture (round azurite spots vs. coarse granite patterns) forms a high-frequency, supernatural energy that has quickly gained attention from both the metaphysical and gemstone communities.

1. K2 Stone is not mined from the peak of K2. Due to the peak’s steep and avalanche-prone nature, mining is nearly impossible. Instead, it is extracted from a remote village called Ghanche, about 75 kilometers south of the peak, which some argue makes "K2" more of a commercial name.
2. Despite being called "K2 Jade" or "Blue Dot Jade," K2 Stone is not a jade.
