Caves.
Stalactites and stalagmites are elongated types of different minerals that are deposited from solutions by slow water dripping.
A stalactite hangs from a ceiling or the sides of a cave.
A stalagmite seems like an inverted stalactite.
It may rise from the bottom surface of a cavern towards the top.
Stalagmites have a thick structure and rise from the same water source.
The key mineral in such formations is calcite which is nothing but calcium carbonate.
The largest ones are formed out of dolomite and limestone.
