Speleothem

A speleothem (; Greek: "cave deposit"), commonly known as a cave formation, is a secondary mineral deposit formed in a cave. Speleothems are typically formed in limestone or dolostone solutional caves.
==Origin and composition==
While more than 250 cave mineral deposits exist, the vast majority of speleothems are calcareous, composed of calcium carbonate in the form of calcite or aragonite, or calcium sulphate in the form of gypsum. Calcareous speleothems form via carbonate dissolution reactions. Rainwater in the soil zone reacts with soil CO2 to create weakly acidic water via the reaction:
:H2O + CO2 → H2CO3
As the lower pH water travels through the calcium carbonate bedrock from the surface to the cave ceiling, it dissolves the bedrock via the reaction:
:CaCO3 + H2CO3 → Ca2+ + 2HCO3
When the solution reaches a cave, degassing due to lower cave pCO2 drives precipitation of CaCO3:
:Ca2+ + 2HCO3 → CaCO3 + H2O + CO2
Over time the accumulation of these precipitates forms stalagmites, stalactites, and flowstones, which compose the major categories of speleothems.
