	Gypsum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gypsum is a very common mineral, with thick and extensive evaporite beds in association with sedimentary rocks.
		Gypsum is deposited in lake and sea water, as well as in hot springs, from volcanic vapors, and sulfate solutions in veins.
		Hydrothermal anhydrite in veins is commonly hydrated to gypsum by groundwater in near surface exposures.

	Gypsum Stacks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Phosphogypsum is calcium sulfate dihydrate (gypsum) produced by the reaction of phosphate rock with sulfuric acid during the process of producing phosphoric acid, the major ingredient of phosphate fertilizers.
		Gypsum is a common inorganic compound with many uses, but the term phosphogypsum is used to specify the particular gypsum by-product arising from the acidulation of phosphate rock.
		As the gypsum settles out, the excess transport water decants to collection ditches at the base of the stack and ultimately to the process cooling pond where it mingles with recycle process water from other areas of the plant to be available for recycle back to the plant.

	Gypsum New Zealand - The soil amendment, conditioner and fertilizer
		Gypsum is particularly useful for treating heavy (clay) soils where it is used to improve the soil's texture, drainage and aeration.
		Gypsum also has applications in the remediation of soil that has been damaged through compaction (heavy stock, machinery), in the recovery of sub-soils exposed by earth movement (contouring, slippage) and in soils affected by salinity (estuarial berms, dairy effluent).
		Gypsum is also used extensively in the building industry (wallboards, cements, plasters etc) and in the manufacture of paper, food and beverages and pharmaceuticals.

		Gypsum deposits lie in flat beds of about six to eight feet in thickness, and are often inter-layered with limestone or shale.
		Gypsum deposits were formed millions of years ago when salt water oceans covered most of the earth, and as they receded, may inland "dead" seas were formed which, as evaporation continued, became more and more salty.
		In the early days of gypsum mining, farmers drove their horses and wagons as far as 100 miles to purchase supplies of "land plaster" for use as fertilizer, or soil "sweetener" as it was called at the time.

	A Brief History of Plaster
		Gypsum is a sedimentary rock, which settled through the evaporation of sea water trapped in lagoons.
		This contrasts with the use of gypsum over the last 200 years, when it was predominantly used for casting decorative elements and for gauging lime when running moldings, whilst most flat work has been executed using plain lime plasters.
		Although further investigation is required, it would appear that gypsum was being used in these early gypsum/lime plasters very differently from the way we expected and there is no evidence, at the moment, that it was also used for moldings or decorative work.

	SDNHM - Gypsum
		Gypsum is an evaporite, which means its crystals form during the evaporation of water.
		Gypsum can appear as transparent crystals (selenite); fibrous, elongated crystals (satin spar); granular and compact masses (alabaster); and in rosette-shaped aggregates called desert roses.
		Gypsum clusters, called desert roses, form in the desert from the evaporation of groundwater.

	WBDG: 09200: Gypsum (Plaster) Board
		Gypsum is also produced as a by-product of several industrial and manufacturing processes, the most common of which is flue-gas desulphurization of fossil fuel powered electrical generating plants, sometimes referred to as "synthetic gypsum." Both forms of gypsum are chemically the same—calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4·2H2O).
		Gypsum board is produced by combining calcined gypsum with water and other additives to form a slurry that is fed between continuous layers of paper on a board machine.
		Gypsum Association (GA)—Founded in 1930, GA promotes the use of gypsum while advancing the development, growth, and general welfare of the gypsum industry in the United States and Canada on behalf of its member companies.

	Gypsum and Caliche in the Texas High Plains
		Gypsum is a salt - calcium sulfate - and when added to calcareous clay soils (the typical high calcium soil in Colorado), does no more than increase the already high calcium content.
		The only soil that can be benefitted by adding gypsum is a soil high in sodium, called "sodic soil" or "fl alkali." These soils normally are found where there is a high water table and poor drainage.
		In a sodic soil, the gypsum dissolves slowly, and some of the sodium ions on the soil are replaced by calcium ions.
