SCIENTIFIC: Gypsum occurs in evaporating sea beds. Gypsum has a low solubility
so it becomes one of the first minerals to separate and be deposited when the
ocean brine evaporates. Gypsum crystallizes in a variety of forms: granular
masses, fibrous shapes, and crystals that have prismatic, needle-like, and
tabular configurations. Gypsum in the form of crystals is also known as
Selenite. Gypsum formed as hard masses is also known as Alabaster. Gypsum found
with a silky luster is known as Satin Spar. Rosette shaped gypsum are called
Desert Roses. Gypsum comes in a wide range of colors from white and colorless
to hues of yellow, green, pink, red, blue, brown and black. The name Gypsum
comes from the Greek word meaning plaster or chalk. Gypsum has been used since
the Egyptians, as plaster for walls and building materials, for statute
carving, as an adhesive, and as filler in pigments.
