	The History and Folklore of Gypsum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Gypsum, sometimes known as satin spar, is found in the form of beads, sold as luck stones at Niagra, and sent to Japan where it is highly valued, possessign qualities of protection and good fortune
		Gypsum when fibrous--the fibres being long and straight--is known as "satin spar." This material is frequently cut rounded, or en cabochon, across the fibres; sometimes it is cut in the form of beads, or of pear-shaped drops, which are mounted in earrings, scarf-pins, or necklaces.
		Some of the cut stones are mounted in brass, or gilded brass, and sold as luck stones at Niagara, the claim being made that the "satin spar" was taken from beneath the Falls at great peril, as occasionally small deposits of this kind of gypsum are found under the Falls.
