K-2 Stone/Ketonite - Blue

K2 Stone, sometimes mistakenly referred to as K2 Jasper, is an incredible material from Pakistan that was discovered near the base of the second highest mountain (K2) in the world.

The stone is Azurite in a Granite matrix. What makes this material so remarkable is that the blue spotting (Azurite) is more of a stain in the granite than an inclusion. This is highly unusual.

K2 stone sonetimes has green spots along with or instead of the blue Azurite spots, and these green spots are Malachite. The material with the Malachite spots is much less common than the Azurite containing stone.
