Gypsum
Credit
: Benjamin Musella - PNR Queyras
Description
The gypsum plaster stone, is a rock which comes from salt crystallisation. It forms in lagoons where salt water is trapped. The water evaporates and leaves salt masses that crystallize. This rock is very sensitive to the action of water. The hydration and dehydration causes increases or decreases of the volume of Gypsum. This characteristic can lead to collapses. The significant erosion of white ruin ravine and sinkholes are examples.
