1. GYPSIFEROUS SOILS IN THE WORLD

1.1 Introduction. Gypsiferous soils are soils that contain sufficient quantities of gypsum (calcium sulphate) to interfere with plant growth. Soils with gypsum of pedogenic origin are found in regions with ustic, xeric and aridic moisture regimes (Nettleton et al. 1982). They are well represented in dry areas where sources for the calcium sulphate exist.

How To Tell If My Selenite Is Real | AllCrystal

It also occurs in different colors, such as peach, green, and blue, due to impurities or inclusions in the crystal. Selenite has a smooth, vitreous (glass-like) luster, and its crystal structure often displays a fibrous, columnar, or tabular form. The edges of the crystal can exhibit a silky or pearly sheen.

Definition of fibrous structure

If the crystals in a mineral aggregate are greatly elongated and have a relatively small cross section, the structure or texture is fibrous. The fibers may be parallel, as in crocidolite and sometimes in gypsum and cerussite. When the fibers are very fine, they may impart a silky luster to the aggregate, as in crocidolite and satin-spar gypsum.
