Dripstones
Dripstones refer to mineral formations that grow in caves as a result of dripping water containing dissolved minerals. These formations typically hang from the ceiling or rise up from the ground, creating intricate and often delicate structures. Dripstones can take on various shapes, sizes, and colors depending on the minerals present in the water and the conditions in the cave. Some common types of dripstones include stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstones.
