Derbyshire Spar is a decorative mineral, primarily Blue John fluorite and other locally quarried stones, found in Derbyshire\'s Peak District. Celebrated since the eighteenth century, Derbyshire Spar has been fashioned into vases, urns, candlesticks, obelisks and other ornamental objects, particularly during the Georgian and Victorian periods. Fine examples are highly prized for their distinctive colouring and association with British craftsmanship. *Related Terms*\ Blue John, Fluorite, Marble, Mineral Specimen, Peak District, Stoneware.
