Dripstones are the collective name for the various limestone formations that are formed by the precipitation of calcium carbonate from hard water. They are often found in karst caves but can also occur in, for example, basements in buildings. The most common is the stalactite that forms in (cave) ceilings. Stalactites can be as narrow as straws or more cone-like. More irregular shapes also occur, so-called helictites. Dripstones that form on the ground are called stalagmites. A stalactite that grows together with a stalagmite is called a pillar or column.
