‘The veins are surrounded by a 5-to 10-cm-wide alteration zone that consists of calcite, dolomite, diopside, hedenbergite, vesuvianite, and base-metal sulfides.’
‘The new edition also adds the important vesuvianite locality at Asbestos, Quebec, which was absent in the 1960 book.’
‘The locality has been worked exclusively for garnet and vesuvianite specimens by mineral collectors and mineral dealers.’
‘The theme for the 2003 competition was vesuvianite, and with thirty-eight entries, judging became a serious business.’
‘Vesuvianite forms as a result of contact metamorphism on impure limestones and is usually found with other exotic minerals.’
