Deep below the rugged surface of Indiana's Martin County people work in two underground mines to extract and process an unusual mineral resource - gypsum. Gypsum (CaSO4*2H2O) is a soft, water soluble mineral that is processed to make critical building materials especially wallboard. Gypsum is mostly massive (Fig. 1A) but also forms silky satin spar (Fig. 1B).

The bed of gypsum ranges in thickness from 0.8 to 1.2 metres and is about 30 metres below the surface. As well as one vertical access shaft (mine elevator), the mine is reached by a decline (ramp) that allows ore to be brought out on a continuous conveyor. The techniques they use to mine the gypsum are similar to those used in coal mining.
