Idrialite, or Idrialine, is a soft, orthorhombic hydrocarbon mineral, chemical formula: 4[C22 H14]. It is usually greenish yellow to light brown in colour with bluish fluorescence. It can be found mixed with clay,
pyrite and
gypsum associated with
cinnabar in the
Idria region, Slovenia. Its combustibility gave rise to the term "inflammable cinnabar", which is one of its synonyms.
