Can you make a picture of the bag? All written details could be useful for us to tell you more. 'Pure gypsum is white, but other substances found as impurities may give a wide range of colors to local deposits.' wiki

That's the same stuff I use, it's more granular and not so much a powder. It always gets digested none the less.

Ive had gypsum that was white, brown, and grey. As long as its labeled as "Gypsum" you should be fine. If it says Calcium (Something or other) then you can worry about it being the wrong stuff.

Honestly..It should say "Calcium (Something or other)"...Gypsum is Calcium Sulfate. Mine is grey.

The brown pellets work fine, just dissolve them down in water (as much as you can) when hydrating the sub

I stand corrected. Crispy is right. Gypsum is Calcium Sulfate.
Ive also seen various calcium products being sold as Gypsum substitutes, and thats the point I was after.
