Jewel Cave; currentlysecond longest cave in the world - 157+ miles of surveyed passages. NearCuster, in South Dakota's Black Hills. (Source: Google)
The photographs of its show-cave section on one of the references show it to be a well-decorated karst cave,so it results from normal limestone-cave development processes; and if it contains streams, the stream-passages are still beingformed by those streams.

Jewel Cave was formed by the erosion of limestone rock by slightly acidic rainwater over millions of years. The dissolution of the limestone created caverns and passageways, while mineral deposits formed distinctive cave formations like stalactites and stalagmites. Today, Jewel Cave is one of the longest caves in the world, with over 200 miles of explored passageways.
