Cyprine belongs to the vesuvianite group. Von Leonhard used it for a mineral that was considered the same as vesuvianite. Idocrase is an older synonym sometimes used for gemstone-quality vesuvianite. Sorosilicates contain double silica tetrahedra, such as vesuvianite. Grossular is found in contact metamorphosed limestones with vesuvianite, diopside, wollastonite and wernerite. Grossular is found in skarns, contact metamorphosed limestones with vesuvianite, diopside, wollastonite and wernerite. The minerals that accompany them are calcite, epidote, vesuvianite, garnet, wollastonite, diopside and amphibole. Cyprine is a copper-rich member of the vesuvianite group with the formula CaCu(AlMg)SiO(OH). Associated minerals include garnets, vesuvianite, diopside, tremolite, epidote, plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene and calcite. Associated minerals include vesuvianite, chlorite, epidote, spinel, calcite, dolomite and magnetite.
