Gypsum is one of the ingredients in cement. It is obtained in the same manner as cuttable stones and medium stones, out of large holes dug in dirt patches. Gypsum can only be dug near the western edge of the map, such as the spot near the Chariot Stop in Fool's Paradise. In these areas, a hole will produce cuttable and medium stones at first; then as the dig progresses, the cuttable stones will gradually yield to gypsum.
