Blue John was given its name by the French. Much of it was exported during the 1700's and they named it 'bleu-jaune'- blue-yellow. There used to be a lot with the purple, yellow and white stripes but very little exists now.

• You should not get Blue John wet.
• Do not use silver dip to clean it.
• If the stone is cracked or badly scratched it cannot be easily repaired - it is better to replace the stone.
• It is difficult, but not impossible, to transfer a stone from one mount to another mount. We would have to look at it before making a decision.
• It can crack easily under duress or heat.
• Blue John can be set in gold.
• Many of our Blue John items can also be made in other stones like Jade, Turquoise or Mother of Pearl.
