K2 granite earrings

What a fun stone this is - K2 granite really is only found near the base of K2 mountain on the China/Pakistan border (K2 granite - imaginatively named I know…).  While the 'ink spot' patterns may look manmade and like a Rorschach test, they are natural and have occured when blue azurite formed in the gaps of the granite’s structure making each one unique.

This pair of silver earrings is set with K2 granite slices having a combined weight of 22.65ct. Each one measures approx. 32x15mm.

K2 granite (sometimes incorrectly called K2 Jasper) is a white granite consisting of quartz, white feldspars, and biotite but what makes it so unusual are the blue ‘ink’ spots within it.  These are blue azurite that has formed naturally in the gaps of the granite’s structure, after the granite itself had solidified.  

These pieces of jewellery are hallmarked for your assurance and come with a gift box and a gift card detailing the weight of the gemstones and a little information about them as shown in the example photograph.   As each stone is unique and each piece of jewellery handmade, every piece of jewellery is individual and you will receive the pieces of jewellery shown in these photographs.
