In principle I keep the weight below 5 grams per earring, so it doesn’t stretch or hurt your ears even if you wear it the whole day. Occasionally, for some designs, that weight limit exceeds by a gram – every pair has their specific weight marked under the general description or “dimensions” tab.

Vesuvianite, with its spectrum from green to brown, yellow, or blue, is a calcium-aluminum silicate mineral named after its discovery near Mount Vesuvius in Italy. Also known by alternative names such as Idocrase, Dupracite, Genevite, Jefreinoffite, and Gahnite, this gemstone is found in places like Canada, Russia, and the United States. Lab-grown vesuvianite would aim to mimic these natural colors and patterns but is less common due to its complex composition.
Named “vesuvianite” after its discovery site, Mount Vesuvius, “idocrase” comes from the Greek words “eidos” (form) and “krasis” (mixture), referring to its varied crystal forms. The other names (Dupracite, Genevite, Jefreinoffite, Gahnite) reflect either historical or local nomenclature.
Vesuvianite resonates with earth energies, linked to the heart chakra for emotional healing and the third eye chakra for insight. Its metaphysical properties include:
Cultural Symbolism: In contemporary metaphysical practices, vesuvianite is seen as a stone of exploration, both of the self and the environment, embodying the spirit of adventure and the quest for knowledge.
Historical Use in Jewelry: While not deeply embedded in ancient mythologies, vesuvianite has been appreciated for its beauty, often used in ornamental pieces, suggesting a connection to nature’s creativity and transformation.
Modern Crystal Healing: Vesuvianite is celebrated for aiding in personal growth, clearing negative patterns, and enhancing spiritual awareness. It’s thought to help one recognize and embrace their true desires, fostering a journey inward towards self-discovery.
