  1. dripstone

    Dripstone is a type of speleothem or formation in caves that is formed due to the deposition of minerals from water seeping or dripping through the cave ceiling. Two most common types of such formations are stalactites, which hang from the ceiling like icicles, and stalagmites, which form on the ground and grow upward. They are typically made of calcium carbonate but can also be composed of other minerals.
