AKA plaster in plasterboard. I think.
If you’re going to select from the magical mineral kingdom, nothing beats feldspar.
Feldspar! Sounds like a wizard in a hack fantasy novel. Like “Forgotten Realms #34,962: Thy Dungeon-Man, or, The Hainted Keep of Feldspar.”
“gypsum” is #177. If I told you where feldspar was on the list—or even if it made the list—I’d destroy the anticipation.
I can’t bring myself to rob you of that.
I can’t tell if you’re really being gneiss, or if you’re just full of schist.
Gypsum is where you stay if you don’t want to pay the price of a hotel room in Vail.
Is there ever a need for a plural? Gypsi??
“The way this business operates,” said the sales manager, his ivory-colored trousers visibly wrinkling in the heat, “is this: We gypsum of the customers and screw the rest.”

Yea, well check out gneiss: a foliated metamorphic rock corresponding in composition to a feldspathic plutonic rock.
Suck on that for a while.
Walk like an Egypsum. Or if you prefer, like one of those ultramafic Italians.
Don’t be an arsole. To which I add, fucitol.

How about “phosphogypsum”? Oooooh!
