"K2 Granite," also known as "K2 Jasper" and "raindrop azurite," is an extremely interesting rock and lapidary material.  It is a unique stone mined from the snowy peaks of Pakistan's K2, the second highest mountain in the world. These rugged snowy peaks make mining difficult, which is why this special stone is rare and hard to find.  It is in a very remote area visited by very few people.

It is like an eye magnet for anyone who sees it for the first time. It is a bright white granite that contains sharply contrasting orbs of bright blue azurite. The azurite orbs range from a few millimeters up to about two centimeters in diameter. On a broken surface or on the surface of a slab, the blue orbs look like drops of bright blue ink that splashed onto the rock. 

Hardness 3.5-4 (Azurite)

This is a natural stone that has had no treatment other than cutting, drilling, and polishing.
