Gypsum also called hydrated calcium sulphate CaSO4 Â 2H2O and anhydrite CaSO4 also called hydrous calcium sulphate are the major minerals in the sedimentary rocks of rock gypsum and rock anhydrite respectively Gypsum consists of calcium sulfur and water while anhydrite consists of calcium The universal scale used to test the hardness of a mineral or rock is known as Moh s scale It was devised by the Austrian mineralogist Frederick Moh in the early s as a crude but practical method of comparing scratch resistance

In terms of reliability hardness is one of the better physical properties for minerals Specimens of the same mineral may vary slightly from one to another but generally they are quite consistent Inconsistencies occur when the specimen is impure poorly crystallized or actually an aggregate and not an individual crystal Hardness is one Rock gypsum is common in Kansas It occurs as thick beds or layers of sedimentary rock and is mined in the Red Hills of south central Kansas and in Hardness 2
