Anhydrite (CaSO4)
Key Words: Anhydrite (CaSO4)
Material Notes: Soft and water soluble, but is used in interior decoration. Three cleavage directions. Occurrence: Formed by evaporation; found in sediments and desert floor. Common in efflorescence. Crystallization Pressure for C/CS = 2 is 335 atm at 0°C. Crystallization Pressure for C/CS = 2 is 398 atm at 50°C. Crystallization Pressure for C/CS = 10 is 1120 atm at 0°C. Crystallization Pressure for C/CS = 10 is 1325 atm at 50°C. Crystallization Pressure for C/CS = 50 is 1900 atm at 0°C. Crystallization Pressure for C/CS = 50 is 2262 atm at 50°C. Property values are typical of naturally occurring Anhydrite (CaSO4). Actual property values will vary from sample to sample.
