Material Overview
Gypsum selenite is a variety of gypsum, a hydrous sulfate of calcium. It is a soft and delicate mineral that is typically found in shades of white, gray, or yellow and often appears transparent or translucent.
At CK-Mining, we offer high-quality gypsum selenite for industrial uses, with extraction tied to sedimentary deposits and evaporative geological environments.
Notable deposits are found in Mexico, the United States, and Russia, and the material can occur in fibrous or radiating crystal forms.
