Best Answer

A stagaltite is a round or tapering mineral spire that rises from the floor of a cave. Composed largely of calcium compounds, this solid geologic structure takes a long, long time to form.

The stalagmite is the "compliment" of the stalactite, which hangs from the roof of a cave. A link to a related question can be found below.
