  1. Not capable of being vitrified.
    • 1784, Richard Kirwan, Elements of Mineralogy:
      Macquer found the purest gypsum invitrifiable by solar heat ; that of Monmartre seemed to yield , but probably was not pure. Even the heat excited by pure air , if continued long enough to dissipate the acid , cannot vitrify it
