K2 Granite Information
K2 granite beads showcase a stunning blend of granite and azurite. These unique beads feature a predominantly gray or white base with striking blue spots.
Formation
K2 granite forms in the K2 mountain range, located in the Himalayas. This granite consists of feldspar and quartz, providing strength. The blue azurite inclusions arise from copper deposits within the granite. Over time, weathering exposes the azurite, creating the distinctive blue patterns.
Fashion and Jewelry
K2 granite beads offer versatility in jewelry design. Artisans create necklaces, bracelets, and earrings using these striking beads. The unique color combinations enhance any outfit, making them a popular choice among jewelry enthusiasts.
History, Mythology, and Symbolism
K2 granite holds significance in various cultures. Some believe it promotes mental clarity and spiritual growth. The blue azurite is associated with communication and intuition, making K2 beads spiritually potent.
Mining, Production, and Applications
Miners extract K2 granite from the K2 mountain region. Due to its remote location, this granite is rare and highly sought after. Craftspeople cut and polish the granite into beautiful beads for jewelry.
K2 granite beads combine beauty and meaning, making them a cherished addition to any collection. Their unique composition and striking appearance appeal to those who appreciate nature’s artistry.

On Earrings’ Weight Principles
In principle I keep the weight below 5 grams per earring, so it doesn’t stretch or hurt your ears even if you wear it the whole day. Occasionally, for some designs, that weight limit exceeds by a gram – every pair has their specific weight marked under the general description or “dimensions” tab.
