Alabaster is a fine-grained variety of gypsum. It is found within gypsum in small clusters, and can likewise be used to make plaster. There is no in-game difference between the two materials, except in coloration.

In real life

Alabaster typically refers to two varieties of stone: the fine-grained varietal of gypsum, as in Dwarf Fortress; and fine-grained calcite.
