This is a truly unique and exceptional
example of a very large, well formed, intact and preserved, quality
Stalactite from Morocco, presenting
with fascinating Aragonite over UV
reactive Calcite / calcium carbonate.
31 inches x 4 inches x 3 inches.
Home decor piece. The blossom,
popcorn-like, fanning and finger
structures are beautiful.
Stalactites (and Stalagmites) are
examples of Speleothems, a geologic
formation that is created by mineral
deposits that accumulate over time, thousands of years, in natural caves. A Stalactite hangs from the ceiling or sides of acave and forms a slowly dripping water-like solution.
A Stalactite hangs tight to the ceiling.
A Stalagmite might reach the ceiling.
That\'s how you tell the difference.
