Description: Extracted solely from Castleton in the Peak District, Blue John is one of the world's most limited semi-precious minerals. The oval shape provides a larger surface area, giving you a full view of the stone's organic fluorite banding. Paired with the symbol of growth and connection represented by the Tree of Life, this piece carries both historic weight and metaphysical meaning, where Blue John is prized for encouraging clarity and calm. Because annual mining is capped at strict limits, each piece represents a finite part of British heritage.

Our Derbyshire Blue John jewellery features this semi-precious mineral which was formed several million years ago.

Blue John is a form of fluorite with bands of a purple-blue or yellowish colour. The name Blue John may come from a corrupted of the French “Bleu jaune” - “blue yellow”.

It is only found in the UK in one location – the Blue John Cavern and Treak Cliff Cavern in Castleton, Derbyshire.

Blue John is becoming rarer and mining is now extremely limited each year, with only a small amount being made into jewellery.
