stalactites

And in the black dome, where the lava turned to molten spray, hung countless stalactites of every color known to the artistic eye.

When he came to himself again, he found himself in a closed cave, amidst strange forms of grey-brown, dripping stalactites.

A green matter oozes from the seams in these rocks, and forms a kind of stalactites, which is apparently a carbonate of copper.
