The habitus of gypsum crystals from Oligocene clay deposits as exposed in a lignite quarry at Zimmersrode (Hessen, Germany) is described and compared with literature data. Comparatively few twins were encountered; invariably, contact twins with growth face (100) were collected. Of prime importance for the genesis of gypsum is the weathering of pyrite and/or marcasite, which were not found in the quarry visited but observed in a nearby lignite pit at Neuenhain.
