La vésuvianite, est une espèce minérale du groupe des silicates, sous-groupe des sorosilicates, formée de silicate double d'alumine et de calcium de formule : Ca10(Mg,Fe)2Al4(SiO4)5(Si2O7)2(OH,F)4 avec des traces : Fe;Be;B;F;Cu;Li;Na;K;Mn;Ti;Cr;Zn;H2O. Elle constitue un groupe (groupe de la vésuvianite) avec la manganvésuvianite, la (de) et la (en).
