Angelite, a sugary blue mineral, which is a type of blue Anhydrite gypsum, crystallises in the form of blue and white masses, nodules, and crystals;  It occasionally, contains a splash of red hematite.    First discovered in Peru, South America,  it has since been found in Britain, Egypt, Germany, Libya, Mexico and Poland.

Anhydrite receives its name from the Greek "anhydrous" "without water,”  under humid conditions or contact with groundwater it readily converts to gypsum.  When the water evaporates it returns to Anhydrite.
