La vesuvianite o vesuviana o idocrasio è un minerale, un sorosilicato che cristallizza in rocce metamorfiche ricche di calcio. Deve il suo nome al luogo in cui è stata trovata la prima volta: il Monte Vesuvio. Fu scoperta nei proietti mineralizzati del Somma-Vesuvio, da Moritz Anton Kappeler nel 1723, che la chiamò “Giacinto ottododecaedrico”. Nel 1772 Jean Baptiste Louis Romé de L’Isle la rinominò “Giacinto del Vesuvio”. In seguito, Abraham Gottlob Werner nel 1795 la classificò come “Vesuviana”. Infine, René Just Haüy nel 1799 la chiamò “Idocrasio” (nome ormai desueto). Esiste anche nelle varietà , , wiluite e .
