Speleology
Stalactites. Types of stalactites

Cave stalactites have always intrigued people, with various formations such as thin-tubular stalactites standing out as especially captivating. These stalactites, sometimes forming entire calcite thickets, are formed through the release of calcium carbonate or halite from infiltration waters within caves. As infiltration waters undergo changes in thermodynamic conditions, the deposition of colloidal calcium carbonate along the perimeter of falling drops results in the gradual formation of thin-tubular, often transparent stalactites. Discover more about these unique stalactite formations and the intriguing processes behind their creation. […]
