Drapery Stalactite, Wonder Cave

269
Formed over tens of thousands of years in the Wonder Cave, this drapery-like stalactite was created by mineral-rich water trickling along slanted ceilings. The thin, folded sheets resemble curtains and highlight how even slow, persistent flow can sculpt elegance from stone through the steady deposit of calcite.
