A stalactite is made of mineral deposits, typically calcium carbonate, that accumulate as water drips from the ceiling of a cave. Over time, these deposits form a cone-shaped structure that hangs down from the cave ceiling.
It's a stalactite that hangs from the ceiling.
When a stalactite and stalagmite meet, they form a column or pillar.
An example of a stalactite is the formation found in caves, made of mineral deposits dripping down from the ceiling over time. These formations often have a long, cylindrical shape and can vary in size and color depending on the minerals present in the water.
When a stalactite and stalagmite join, they form a column or pillar. This occurs when mineral deposits from dripping water from the stalactite unite with the mineral deposits growing up from the stalagmite, eventually creating a solid column structure.
A stalactite typically grows at a rate of around 0.001 to 0.02 inches per year, depending on factors like the mineral content of the water and the size of the stalactite.
This type of deposit is called a stalactite. Stalactites are made up of calcium deposits from the runoff water coming into the cave.

The stalactite looked like an icicle as it hung from the ceiling of the cave.

No, a stalactite may not become a stalagmite in any meaningful sense. Calcite-- the mineral both stalactites and stalagmites are made from-- is not flexible or sticky enough to survive a fall and adhere to the ground more or less intact. However, a stalactite may break and fall to the ground, becoming the foundation for a new stalagmite if there is calcite laden water dripping on the point where the stalactite rests. Given enough time, if a stalactite does not break, it will "grow" into its corresponding stalagmite, creating a column. they can become a combination of the two though https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150590970190519&set=a.10150590967785519.435379.639145518&type=3&theater

You would go to a cave if you wanted to see a stalactite.
