Natural stones are named after their color, mythology, history, or place of extraction. This is exactly the case for this stone called K2 jasper.

This K2 jasper comes from Mount K2 in the Himalayas, the second highest peak in the world at 8,620 meters above sea level. Discovered in 1520, K2 jasper has no legends or myths associated with it. Its history is even very little known.

In the 16th century, only the inhabitants near Mount K2 knew about this stone. They attributed to it an immense power of protection and healing. Indeed, they wore it in the form of pendants.

But at this altitude, the environment is hostile and the conditions for extracting K2 jasper stone are extremely difficult. Oxygen is rarer and you need to be in excellent physical condition to climb this mountain.

Therefore, this stone is relatively rare on the fine stone market due to the enormous difficulties in its extraction.

K2 Jasper has this trade name, but in reality this stone is made up of 80% silicate, granite speckled with inclusions of blue azurite and/or brown biotite.

Granite crystallizes deep within the earth and then slowly rises to the surface. It is a magmatic plutonic rock with a grainy texture and rich in quartz. Granite is the result of the slow cooling of huge masses of magma.

At the same time, azurite is a mineral variety consisting of copper carbonate. This stone has been known for thousands of years. Traces of azurite have been discovered in ointment pots dating back to the 4th Egyptian dynasty. The Greeks named it kuanos meaning cyan and the Egyptians called it caeruleum.

The light-colored K2 jasper has beautiful inclusions of azurite in the form of intense blue circles. One might think that it was hand-painted and leaves no one indifferent.

K2 jasper has a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale. For comparison, diamond is the hardest stone, at 10 on the same scale. It is a variety that is widely used in jewelry. Nowadays, many collectors want their specimen of K2 jasper. In addition, the constitution of this stone gives it many virtues in lithotherapy.

The deposit is in Afghanistan.

K2 Jasper is a stone of great power. It protects its wearer by absorbing the negative energies and influences that surround it. It allows one to refocus during attitude deviations. It prevents slippage, letting go and weaknesses.

This stone is known to develop communication with others. Thus, it develops self-confidence and assurance. The wearer of a K2 jasper feels more comfortable when speaking in public. His speech is structured and his audience is won over. Thus, oral expression becomes his strong point. This stone fights speech tics or stuttering.

K2 Jasper helps to live in the present and overcome traumas related to the past. It effectively fights against anxieties, buried fears, blockages due to childhood traumas. It confronts, overcomes the difficulties of life and provides great help during painful moments (death of a loved one, romantic breakup or dismissal, etc.).

From a spiritual point of view, K2 Jasper diffuses the energy of the K2 mountain and provides peace and harmony. It promotes meditation, improves mental connections and stimulates psychic energy. It helps to better channel and control one's emotions. It opens the mind, generates compassion and empathy towards others.
