This specimen of Vesuvianite was collected at Imilchil in the Er Rachidia Province of Morocco. A great addition to any collection!
It was first discovered on Mount Vesuvius in Italy in the 18th century, hence its name. Vesuvianite typically occurs as a green, brown, yellow, or blue-green crystal, and is often found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. The alternate name, Idocrase, is from the Greek eidos “form”, and krasis “mixture”, because Vesuvianite often appears to combine the crystal forms of other minerals. It is used as a gemstone.
