The Blue John Cavern In Derbyshire
Blue John is Britain's rarest mineral, first discovered at Castleton by the Romans almost 2000 years ago. The worlds only known deposits of this extremely rare and beautiful stone have been found in Castleton to date. During excavations at Pompeii two vases of Blue John Stone were supposedly unearthed, evidence therefore that the Romans not only discovered the stone but also appreciated it for its ornamental value. The Blue John Cavern is home to 8 of the 15 known veins of this beautiful mineral.(excerpt from Blue John Cavern website)| Size: | 4.15 x 1.85 cm |
