Gypsum isn't very rare for its simple compounds yet it does have some rare conditions of being created some places millions of years ago had those conditions. Gypsum's only made of Calcium, Sulfur, and Oxygen. It needs to be 120 degrees and completely flooded. So overall gypsum isn't very rare its more rare to find an accurate appraisal on it! no where can i find anything!
Yes, graphite is harder than gypsum, so it can scratch gypsum.

No. Gypsum is a calcium sulfate dihydrate.
Gypsum is commonly found in sedimentary rocks such as limestone, shale, and sandstone. It forms from the evaporation of water-soluble minerals in these rocks, leaving behind the mineral gypsum as a product.
Gypsum rosettes, also known as gypsum flowers, are relatively rare mineral formations found in specific arid environments, particularly in gypsum-rich areas. Their unique, flower-like appearance is a result of the crystallization process under certain conditions. While not as commonly encountered as other minerals, they can sometimes be found in evaporite deposits and specific geological formations, making them a sought-after specimen for collectors. Their rarity and unique aesthetic contribute to their appeal in mineralogy.
