Blue John Cavern

The Blue John Cavern at Castleton is world famous. It is home to eight of the fourteen known varieties of Blue John Stone; a beautiful and ornamental fluor-spar. The mineral has been mined here for centuries and continues to be so in the winter months.

The traditional methods of turning Blue John are still used, and the skill of our craftsmen working in the Original Blue John Craft Shop in the village of Castleton enable the visitor to view this unique stone at its best.
