This material was collected by me in the late 70's from the old mine dumps at the Faraday Mine near Bancroft Ontario. It was a rare find as Anhydrite weathers quickly in a wet climate and when its gone I will not likely be able to get back up there to dig anymore. Anhydrite is a pinkish purple through violet purple mineral sometimes showing blue. The green in the samples is Scapolite, the black is Hornblende.

This granular pink calcite looks like lumps of sugar candy, hence the nick name. It is actually a mixture of calcite and anhydrite, which can be seen on close inspection. Only a few pieces found, mostly small
