Buying K2 stone for a shop
K2 is a white to grey granite dotted with round blue spots of azurite, a copper mineral. The contrast of bright blue on a speckled white base is what customers notice first. It is also sold as K2 jasper or raindrop azurite, but it is a granite, not a jasper, and that is the name to use on your label.

What is in this collection
- K2 granite tumbled stones in small, medium, large and extra large.
- Rough K2 chunks in four size bands, from #0 (about 2 to 4 inches) to #3 (about 5 to 8 inches).
For tumblers and carvers
The granite base is hard, while the azurite spots are much softer, about 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale. When you polish K2, expect the blue spots to wear faster than the stone around them; a gentle final polish keeps them level. The rough chunks also sell as they are, to collectors and rock hounds.
Selling it
K2 is a good conversation stone and an easy add to a tumbled stone range. Put the chunks with other rough stone chunks, and pair K2 with blue stones such as lapis lazuli and sodalite. Some people traditionally use it as a stone for focus and calm thinking.
