What is Gypsum?
Gypsum is an evaporite mineral most commonly found in layered
sedimentary deposits in association with halite, anhydrite, sulfur,
calcite, and dolomite. Gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) is very similar to
Anhydrite (CaSO4). The chemical difference is that gypsum contains
two waters and anhydrite is without water. Gypsum is the most
common sulfate mineral.
Uses of Gypsum:
Gypsum uses include: manufacture of wallboard, cement, plaster of
Paris, soil conditioning, a hardening retarder in portland cement.
Varieties of gypsum known as "satin spar" and "alabaster" are used
for a variety of ornamental purposes; however, their low hardness
limits their durability.
