Blue John

The origin of the Blue John title is still relatively unknown, but it has been used for centuries as a precious stone. Blue John had been mined around the Castleton area in North Derbyshire – the beautiful area situated within the Peak District.

In 2015, a fine Blue John pedestal dish or tazza, sold with a hammer price of £4,400, double the £1,500-£2,000 estimate. The full hammer total of the Blue John sale at Fellows reached £238,000.
