Anhydrite is a stone of base value that is only found within various types of gypsum. In real life, anhydrite is essentially dehydrated gypsum, and on contact with water will immediately hydrate and soften. In Dwarf Fortress, anhydrite floodgates are just as effective as floodgates made from granite.
