Geology: Anhydrite, a anhydrous calcium sulphate mineral  is relatively rare, as it easily alters to the much more common mineral Gypsum from the addition of water into its chemical structure. Anhydrite and Gypsum are chemically similar, except Gypsum has the addition of water. In fact, the name of Anhydrite is derived from "An" and "Hydra" - meaning "without water" - in reference to its similarity to Gypsum but the fact that it lacks water. It is typically found in evaporite deposits where large volumes of sea water have evaporated. 

Anhydrite is a soft stone and should be handled with care. 

Metaphysical Properties: Anhydrite is spiritual stone with a beautiful, calming and soothing energy. It is a stone of transformation but can help balance emotions whilst also helping you to connect to your higher self.
