| ⓘ Gypsum Formula: CaSO4 · 2H2O Habit: No crystal structure noted Colour: White to colorless. Dull on weathered surfaces Fluorescence: No tests performed Description: Specimen type - massive
Lustre - sub-vitreous to vitreous (dull white on weathered surfaces)
Color - White (transparent in smaller pieces)
Hardness - < 3
Cleavage - perfect (easily breaks into rhombohedral pieces)
Solubility - easily soluble in even dilute HCl
Other - Distinct sulfur smell during breakage or acid decomposition. Material is seamed within calcite and is notably softer than surrounding calcite
