Gypsin
Gypsin is a mineral composed of hydrated calcium sulfate, with the chemical formula CaSO4·2H2O. It is commonly found in sedimentary rocks, particularly in evaporite deposits formed by the evaporation of water. The mineral is characterized by its softness, with a Mohs hardness of 1.5 to 2, and its typically white or colorless appearance, though impurities can lead to various shades of gray, yellow, or brown. Gypsin is known for its relatively low density and its tabular or prismatic crystal habit.
The formation of gypsin is closely linked to arid or semi-arid environments where the concentration of dissolved
Gypsin has numerous industrial and commercial applications. It is the primary raw material for the production
