stalactites

     

A stalactite (Greek stalaktites, (Σταλακτίτης), from the wor for "drip" and meaning "that which drips") is a type of speleothem (secondary mineral) that hangs from the ceiling or wall of limestone caves. It is sometimes referred to as dripstone.

Trivia about stalactites

  • One of the seven wonders of Barbados, Harrison's Cave is rich in formations of these hanging objects
  • (Kelly of the Clue Crew reports from inside Carlsbad Caverns Nat'l Park, New Mexico.) Calcite formations called soda straws are precursors to these larger formations that grow from cave ceilings
