The gypsum spectrum looks nothing like any spectrum of gypsum or other sulfate 
I've ever seen.  I'm deeply suspicious.

Matthew,

Paris et al in 2001 reported higher S K-edge white line energies for SO4 in 
Apatite, 2 eV above Gypsum.

    A user on ALS 10.3.2 is taking S K-edge XANES and consistently finding a 
strong peak at 2484eV (calibration: gypsum white line = 2482.75eV).
    There's a shoulder at the nominal position of the sulfate peak.  Now, peaks 
below sulfate I can understand, but since there's no such
    thing as heptavalent sulfur, what could give a peak *above* the sulfate 
white line?  Anybody ever seen that?  Yes, we checked calibration.
