The slow accumulation of minerals creates intricate patterns on the surface of stalactites.
Speleologists study stalactites to understand the geological processes shaping underground environments.
Stalactites can form in man-made structures like mines or tunnels if conditions are suitable.
Caves often feature beautiful stalactites formed over time by mineral-rich water dripping from the ceiling.
