Gypsum is a soft sulphate mineral composed of calcium sulphate dihydrate.

Gypsum is believed to help bring growth and improvement in character. It can help release tension, promoting positive thinking, mental clarity and self awareness. Fishtail Gypsum is said to provide deep healing for nerves and may be used to access past lives as well as future ones.

The Naica mine in Chihuahua, Mexico, with its enormous gypsum crystals, may well be called the "Queen of the Giant Crystals localities." Though the Naica mine is no show mine, but still a working lead-zinc mine hosted in layered limestones, the first of several crystal caves was discovered in 1910. This "Cave of the Swords" contained extraordinary large sword-like selenite (gypsum) crystals up to 2 m long. In 2000 another crystal cave system was discovered at 300 m depth, even more spectacular than the original cave. Inside were free growing gypsum crystals up to 12 m long and 2 m in diameter.
