VESUBIANITE

MINERALOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The vesubianite is formed by the contact metamorphism of limestone with impurities typical of these environments, in alpine cracks or in magmatic masses. Its crystals are usually long prismatic and vitreous with a pyramidal tip, en masse or columnar. The most common colors are green or greenish yellow, although they can also be found in brown, red, black, bluish or violet, depending on the elements that replace the original structure.

Vesubianite , also called vesubian or idocrase, owes its name to Mount Vesuvius, in Italy, where it was discovered. The old name idocrasa comes from the Greek "eidos" (aspect) and "krasis" (mixture).

Deposits: United States, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Kenya, Switzerland, Sri Lanka and Canada.
