Most stalactites are limestone. Water, often rainwater, seeps through material which causes it to absorb carbon dioxide, as it seeps further it dissolves limestone. Then when it reaches the ceiling of a cave it slowly begins to forms droplets. As these dry they deposit the limestone on the ceiling. This happens again and again, one drop at a time, and very slowly over years this deposit grows forming a stalactite.
