	stalactite and stalagmite - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		Stalagmites and stalactites are often found in pairs, the stalagmite being formed as a result of further evaporation and precipitation from solution after the trickle of water falls from the stalactite.
		Since stalactites, stalagmites, and curtains of dripstone form only in the presence of air, their existence in a cave indicates that the cave was above the water table while the dripstone was forming.

	Stalactite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A stalactite (Greek stalaktos, (Σταλακτίτης), "dripping" or "dropped"), or dripstone, is a type of speleothem that hangs from the ceiling or wall of limestone caves.
		Stalactites are formed from the deposition of calcium carbonate and other minerals, which is precipitated from mineralized water solutions.
		The corresponding formation on the floor underneath a stalactite is known as a stalagmite.

	LiveScience.com - Stalactite Surprise: All Have Same Shape
		Stalactites are similar in that you could correctly guess the shape even if the only thing you knew was the ratio between the length and the width.
		Generally speaking, the stalactite growth is influenced by the fact that water droplets will form at the bottom tip of the hanging rock.
		On average, the length of a stalactite increases at a rate of a centimeter a century.

	Speleothems: Stalactite
		Stalactites are dripstones pointing vertically downwards from the cave ceiling.
		The diameter and shape of the stalactite depends on the amount of deposited limestone and the amount of water.
		Stalactites are always thinner than other drip stones, especially stalagmites, and have a pointy lower end.

		There are examples of a stalactite "kissing" stalagmite, so that the two form a pillar.

		A stalactite is an icicle-shaped mass of calcite attached to the roof of a limestone cavern.
		A summer resort, it is famous as the site of Europe's largest stalactite caverns, which are traversed by a subterranean river.
		It occurs most commonly in crystals (belonging to the isometric system and usually in the form of cubes and pyritohedrons) but is also found in massive, granular, and stalactite form.

	CD250: Stalactite growth rates
		The upper average rate for limestone stalactite growth is ten centimeters per thousand years, with lower growth rates outside of tropical areas.
		Fast-growing stalactites, on the other hand, either grow from gypsum through an evaporative process, or they form from concrete or mortar.
		The time for stalactite growth also has to allow for time for the cave to dissolve in the first place, which is a very slow process, sometimes on the order of tens of millions of years.

	Stalagmite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The corresponding formation on the ceiling of a cave is known as a stalactite.
		Stalactite is stretched "tite" (tight) by hanging from the ceiling.
		Stalactites and stalagmites can also form on concrete ceilings and floors, although they form much more quickly there than in the natural cave environment.

		Stalactites covering 3 1/2 acres of the surrounding caverns produce tones of symphonic quality when electronically tapped by rubber-tipped mallets.
		He began his monumental 3 year project by searching the vast chambers of the caverns selecting stalactites to precisely match a musical scale.
		When a key is depressed, a tone occurs as the rubber-tipped plunger strikes the stalactite tuned to concert pitch.

		Another much rarer form is the elephant's foot stalactite, which is flat, rather than pointed, on the bottom.
		Stalactites also form in other minerals such as gypsum (bottom left photo) or epsomite (first image on left in the bottom table), and can look very different from calcite stalactites.

	monkey's tid-bits-o-knowledge - stalactite or stalagmite?
		both stalagmites and stalactites are formed by water dribbling through mineral rich rock, picking up a bit of calcium carbonate and depositing it along the way as it drops from ceiling to floor.

	§ 42. stalactite / stalagmite. 4. Science Terms. The American Heritage Book of English Usage. 1996
		A seemingly timeless usage problem in geology is the difference between stalagmites and stalactites.
		The source of each word can be traced back to the Greek word stalassein, meaning “to drip.” This is appropriate since the source of each in nature is the dripping of mineral-rich water within caves.
		The difference is in their orientation: a stalactite is an icicle-shaped mineral deposit that hangs from the roof of a cavern, and a stalagmite is a conical mineral deposit that extends up from the floor of a cavern.

	Stalactite - definition from Biology-Online.org
		Stalactites are found depending from the roof or sides of caverns, and are produced by deposition from waters which have percolated through, and partially dissolved, the overlying limestone rocks.
		In an extended sense, any mineral or rock of similar form and origin; as, a stalactite of lava.

		As cave stalactites grow, they record changing oxygen isotope values, which correspond to the growth and decay of ice sheets.
