GYPSUM // Properties, Crystals, & Formation

Gypsum is a mineral. Class: sulfates. Rockhound gypsum by learning to identify it here.

Want to learn more about geology, rocks, minerals, & crystals? Join me, your geo field guide, on real field adventures. I'll be showing you geologic formation in places primarily across North America, like the incredible red bed geology of Utah, the copper districts of Arizona, the 49ers mining camps of California. I explore old abandoned mines, search for crystals, find radioactive minerals, go fossil hunting, and explore fascinating geologic layers and features like volcanoes and ancient landslides, even glaciers! I am a geology graduate with research emphases in micro paleontology, ancient ecosystem reconstructions, climate change science and paleoecology. I've been living in a truck camper traveling around to localities to bring you virtual field trips when you can't be there. I bring the geology to you! Learn the technical details, geo terminology, and basic geology 101 concepts, in a fun and useful adventures that you can use on your next trip or Rockhounding adventure. Happy Geo Time!

Let's Go Geo!

Really great video, I do landscape / geology photography but I never have the description of what I photograph, so I try to learn on very very amateur level. Thank you for the education 🙏👏👏👏🍀

So we own a place that has like 50 layers of gypsum. Literally 1000 truckloads of it or more. I just wanna know if it is gypsum.

This gypsum has a future... "drywall"
