Sulfate minerals

Sulfate minerals are minerals bound with SO4. If the minerals are bound also with chrome, molybdenium or wolfram they create chromnites, molybdenites and wolframites. Those minerals are included in this group.
The creation of the sulfate minerals is bound to the volcanic and hydrothermal activity. They can also create under certain conditions in water (from water with large amounts of gyps in it to the crystals of gypsum) inland. Some minerals of this group are created after the degradation of a prime sulfate mineral.
From all minerals in this group, the chromnites are the most rare.

Sulfate minerals

Anhydrite

Anhydrite

Info: Anhydrite is calcium sulfate. Often is found in whole, grain-like or fibre agregates, which can be found very often in large numbers. Anhydrite is usually greyish, but it can be reddish sometimes. The most priced are the rare purpule anhydrites. The mineral is translucent to transparent...
Thenardite

Thenardite

Info: The most common forms of thenardite is crust-like or flower-like, but it can be found also in the forms of big bypyramidal crystals. The twins of this crystal often grow in the form of cross. Thenardite is often colourless, but it can be also greyish, yellowish or reddish colouration....
