It's called a column, there's no more technical term than that, as far as I can find.

You are right; "column" is both common and technical term for it.

Stalactites. The corresponding ones growing up from the floor are Stalagmites.
What do you call the stony conical projections that hang from the roof of a cave?
Stalactites. Those growing up from the floor are Stalagmites. Their "stony" material is usually the mineral calcite (crystalline calcium carbonate).

When crystals grow down from the ceiling of the cave what do we call them?
Stalactites grow down from the ceiling. Stalagmites grow up from the ground. A good way to remember is the ''c'' for ceilingin stalactite and the ''g'' for ground in stalagmite.

What calcite deposits are found inside caves?
The best known are stalactites (growing down from the roof), stalagmites (up from the floor), and columns - formed by stalactites meeting their corresponding stalagmites.They come in many shapes and sizes from "straws" (very fine stalactites like drinking-straws - I think American cavers call them "soda straws") upwards. Minerals such as iron can tint the formations: in one English cave I know, there is a patch of stumpy, pudding-shaped stalagmites tinted by iron so they resemble caramel-creme puddings. They look almost edible. So what did their discoverers call them? "The Blobs"!If the calcite solution trickles down a sloping roof it can form "curtains" (draperies in USA, I believe) - you can imagine their folded, sheet-like forms from their names.Flowstone is calcite deposited across a floor, and this can form natural weirs creating"gour" ("rimstone") pools in the film of flowing water that is depositing the calcite.Dripping calcite solution may form spherical "cave pearls" around grains of sand, until they become too heavy for the dripping to turn,when they start to coalesce. Or if dripping onto a mud-bank,the impacts may drill a shallow funnel-shaped pit that becomes lined with calcite - "mud roses".Botryoidalformations resemble the surface ofa cauliflower.Oddest though, and for which no satisfactory explanation has been determined, are helictites. These are small stalatcites, often growing from a wall, twisted into veryodd shapes. Some look like pertified spaghetti, or rather irregular deer antlers.These are the main forms - various, rare, versions occur too.
