These 8mm Idocrase cabochon coins are bezel-set in rich gold vermeil, highlighting the stone’s earthy olive-to-chartreuse glow and naturally translucent body. Smoothly domed and fully calibrated, each pendant is cleanly finished and ready to use—perfect for charm clusters, dainty earrings, or layered everyday necklaces.
Idocrase is also known as Vesuvianite, a name that traces back to its discovery on the slopes of Italy’s Mount Vesuvius in the late 18th century. The gem crystallized in the intense heat-and-pressure zones where volcanic activity met limestone, giving it both its name and its distinct mineral character. Today, “Idocrase” is the gemological term, while “Vesuvianite” is the historic trade name—both referring to the same sought-after stone prized for its verdant tone and quietly glowing clarity.
Sold individually so you can order exact counts for matching sets or multi-stone layouts—no wire-wrapping or setting required.
