K2 Azurite Granite rondelle beads offer a striking blend of crisp alpine granite tones and vivid azurite orbs in every piece. Often called K2 Jasper, this rare stone is quarried high in Pakistan’s Karakoram range near the base of the world-famous K2 peak. The pale, speckled granite matrix is naturally studded with bright cobalt-blue azurite, creating a pattern that looks almost hand-painted. Cut into smooth plain rondelles, these beads slide beautifully on cord and space neatly between focal elements while still providing plenty of visual impact.
Designers reach for K2 Azurite Granite when they want a conversation-starting palette of sky-blue and snow-white with subtle charcoal accents. The stone is believed to combine the grounding stability of granite with the intuitive, high-vibration energy of azurite—a balance of earth and sky that makes it popular in mindfulness and meditation jewelry. At roughly 9 mm to 10 mm across, each rondelle is substantial enough for single-strand bracelets and healer’s malas, yet slim enough to work as spacers in mixed-gemstone necklaces, men’s pieces, or statement earrings.
Whether you know it as K2 Granite, K2 Stone, or K2 Jasper, these naturally patterned beads bring the drama of the world’s second-highest mountain straight to your bench, ready to elevate any handcrafted design with an unmistakable alpine flair.
