Anhydrite is calcium sulfate. The Calcium Sulfate forms from water loss in gypsum. The gypsum shrinks over time, making the structure of anhydrite opaque and compact.
Anhydrite was first discovered, in 1794, in a salt mine near Hall in Tirol, Austria. In this occurrence depth is critical since nearer the surface anhydrite has been altered to gypsum by absorption of circulating ground water.
