Anhydrite does not form directly, but is the result of the loss of water in the rock forming mineral Gypsum. This loss of water produces a reduction in volume of the rock layer and can cause the formation of caverns as the rock shrinks. The blue form of Anhydrite is called Angelite (mined in Peru) because of its blue color. When exposed to water Anhydrite morphs back into Gypsum.
