Gypsum is a mineral and stone composed of Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate, (CaSO<sub>4</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>2</sub>) known for it's very soft nature: gypsum is soft enough to be scratched by human (and presumably dwarven) fingernails. Gypsum forms as a result of a bodies of water evaporating and leaving behind particulate matter that crystallizes in super-saturated liquid. When formed in a single cleaved mass, it is called [[Selenite]]; when formed in massses of silky fibrous material, it is known as [[Satinspar]]; and when formed in a very fine crystalline form, it is called [[Alabaster]].

This article is about an older version of DF.

Gypsum is an important material for dwarven healthcare - once mined, it can be processed at a kiln to make gypsum plaster powder.

Gypsum can also contain small clusters of selenite, satinspar, and alabaster, which can also be made into plaster powder, as well as anhydrite, which cannot.

  • A gypsum quarry

  • Piece of gypsum

  • Gypsum crystals (dirty yellow) on another mineral

  • Another gypsum crystal

  • Though most are not this clear, gypsum can be found as a transparent crystal
