==Real-World Information==
 
 
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 {{L|Selenite}}; when formed in massses of silky fibrous material, it is known as {{L|Satinspar}}; and when formed in a very fine crystalline form, it is called {{L|Alabaster}}.
