Gypsum rocks are sedimentary rocks made up of sulfate mineral and formed as the result of evaporating sea water in massive prehistoric basins. This rock is found in many parts of the world. Gypsum deposits lie in flat beds of about six to eight feet in thickness, and are often inter-layered with limestone or shale.
Gypsum is found at many localities around the world. Perhaps the most famous is Mexico's Crystal Cave, where crystals many meters long were found in a large opening deep underground.
Gypsum is formed from the evaporation of saturated solutions that are high in the elements calcium and sulfur.
From the evaporation of water that is saturated with the chemical ingredients that are necessary for gypsum formation.

Rock gypsum is a sedimentary rock. These rocks can be transparent or opaque. Examples could be chalk and chalk boards.

Gypsum and Rock Salt are two examples of chemical rocks (sedimentary rocks).

It is not known who discovered Gypsum. It has been in use for about 9000 years. Gypsum has 2 forms, rock and mineral form.
First of all, Gypsum is a mineral, and Rock Gypsum is a rock, don't get them confused. Second of all, no they aren't. Rock Gypsum is a sedimentary rock, and an alternate name for it is Alabaster.
Gypsum is actually a major rock forming mineral. Rock gypsum is a chemical sedimentary rock.
the color for the gypsum rock is lik ewhite
gypsum rock often forms when salt evaporates just like h2o 555 it does to that what i think 89392
Yes. They're the same.
Yes.
Rock salt and gypsum are not varieties of dolomite.
gypsum is used in sheet rock
== == Gypsum is a rock and a mineral.
Gypsum is formed underwater, usually between layers of shale and limestone. When the water evaporates and the area dries, the gypsum becomes solid "rock" gypsum.
