Stalactites a rock that hangs in the cave is formed by slow drips of water, when joined with stalagmites the rock below that grows upward will become a column. Column in a cave is formed when stalactites and stalagmites finally joined together. Over the years, it is possible to become wider.

However, if you are asking the rocks that will form as stalactites and stalagmites, this include limestone, dolomite, and gypsum to mention a few.
