FAQs

Blue John, also known as Derbyshire Spar, is a rare variety of fluorite with bands of purple, blue, and yellow, sourced almost exclusively from Treak Cliff Cavern and Blue John Cavern in Derbyshire, England.

Blue John is traditionally fashioned into cabochons and set within sterling silver or gold mounts, utilising silversmithing techniques developed through the 19th and early 20th centuries in England.

Authentic pieces feature natural concentric banding patterns unique to fluorite, distinct vitreous lustre, and period-appropriate silver hallmarks or settings consistent with British manufacturing.

Antique pendants function well as focal accessory pieces, paired with minimalist clothing to highlight the natural mineral colours and historical craftsmanship.

Fluorite is a relatively soft mineral with a Mohs hardness of four, requiring gentle cleaning with a soft cloth and avoidance of harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
