K2

K2 is a fairly new stone. It’s a granite found on the second highest mountain in the world, K2. While this borders China and Pakistan, the stone has only been found in Pakistan at the time of writing this. Because it is in a harsh and remote location, the stone carries a high value. It is believed to be a granite made up of quartz, Muscovite, Biotite, and a sodium plagioclase, and hardened. Azurite droplets (the blue dots) occurred later during a secondary melt. Additionally tiny droplets of Malachite are also spotted throughout the granite, also occurring during the secondary melt.

K2, due to it’s makeup is believed to be a powerful metaphysical stone. It is grounding and is a gentle healer. Associated with the crown and third eye chakras, it strengthens divine connection, and encourages open receptivity. It is believed to help us dissipate barriers we have to our spiritual progress while allowing us to commit to and maintain a spiritual practice within our daily lives.
