K2 Tumblestone 20-40mm Pakistan Granite Azurite Crystal Polished K2 Jasper Gemstone Specimen Collectors Stone with Certificate Authenticity
£ 7.68
Product OverviewThis K2 Stone tumblestone from Pakistan is a genuine natural mineral specimen,
carefully selected and polished to enhance its striking contrast of colours and patterns. Each piece measures approximately 20–40mm and is supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee card. The photograph shown represents an example of the specimen you will receive, with each stone displaying its own distinctive combination of blue inclusions and light granite matrix. Please refer to the images for full sizing and scale.Mineral Identification and CompositionK2 Stone, often referred to as K2 Jasper, is a unique combination of granite and azurite. It is composed primarily of light-coloured granite containing quartz, feldspar, and biotite, with vivid blue azurite inclusions dispersed throughout the matrix.The granite base provides a speckled white to grey background, while the azurite appears as bright to deep blue spherical or irregular spots. These inclusions create a visually striking contrast that makes K2 Stone highly recognisable and sought after among collectors.Crystal Structure and Physical PropertiesAs a composite material, K2 Stone exhibits properties derived from both its granite host and azurite inclusions. The granite component is a coarse-grained igneous rock, while azurite is a copper carbonate mineral.Typical properties include:
• Colour: White to grey granite with vivid blue azurite inclusions
• Lustre: Waxy to slightly vitreous when polished
• Transparency: Opaque
• Hardness: Approximately 6–7 on the Mohs scaleThe tumbling process smooths the surface, enhancing the contrast between the pale granite and the bold blue azurite spots.Geological Formation and Pakistani LocalityK2 Stone is sourced from the foothills of the K2 mountain, the second-highest peak in the world, located in the Karakoram range of northern Pakistan. This remote and high-altitude region is known for its challenging terrain and unique geological formations.The stone forms when azurite mineralisation occurs within granitic rock, likely through hydrothermal processes where copper-rich fluids infiltrate the host rock and deposit azurite within fractures and cavities. The result is a rare and visually distinctive combination of minerals found in very limited locations.Appearance and Natural VariationEach K2 tumblestone is unique, with variations in the size, number, and distribution of azurite inclusions. Some stones may feature bold, concentrated blue spots, while others display more scattered or subtle patterns.The polished finish enhances the natural surface and allows the contrast between the granite matrix and azurite inclusions to stand out clearly. These variations are a natural result of the mineral’s formation and contribute to the individuality of each specimen.Uses and Collecting AppealK2 Stone tumblestones are highly regarded by mineral collectors and gemstone enthusiasts due to their rare origin and distinctive appearance. Their compact size and polished finish make them suitable for display, gifting, or inclusion in curated mineral collections.In cultural and non-scientific contexts, K2 Stone is traditionally associated with balance between grounded and intuitive qualities and is often appreciated in spiritual practices. These associations are based on historical and cultural traditions rather than scientific properties.Authenticity and Presentation
