La vesuvianita, también conocida como idocrasa, es un sorosilicato de fórmula Ca10(Mg, Fe)2Al4(SiO4)5(Si2O7)2(OH,F)4 que puede presentarse de color verde, marrón, amarillo, o azul. La vesuvianita aparece como cristales tetragonales en depósitos de tipo skarns y en calizas que han sido sometidas a metamorfismo de contacto. Los cristales más límpidos suelen utilizarse como gemas. Fue descubierta como xenolitos en el monte Vesubio, de ahí su nombre y fue descrita por Abraham Gottlob Werner en 1795.
