· Gypsum is a very soft mineral that is easily identified by its hardness, cleavage, and solubility in water. Typically clear to white, gypsum may be colored reddish to brown or yellow if impurities are present. Most gypsum occurs in its massive form, as layers of rock that often intercalate layers of shale, limestone, or dolostone.

· SHRT is one of the most customary non-destructive tests in rock mechanics and inspection activities. The Schmidt hammer was designed initially for concrete hardness testing in 1948 (Schmidt 1951), but due to its ease of use, portability, low cost and non-destructive properties, it has been used in rock mechanics and Geo-morphological studies since the …

· Gypsum is considered an evaporate and forms when evaporation of water allows oxygen to bond with the surrounding sulfur to create sulfate. The sulfate will then bond with surrounding calcium and water to create the final product gypsum. Gypsum has the following properties: Mohs Scale Hardness : 1.5 – 2. Specific Gravity: 2.31 – 2.33.

· The sclerograph is a rebound type hardness test instrument used in laboratories to measure rock hardness. A hammer with an impact tip is allowed to fall under gravity inside a tube (Figure 3). The rebound height of the hammer, measured using an arbitrary scale, is the hardness of the rock or mineral.
