A Flowstone is a layered deposit of calcium carbonate or another mineral, formed by water flowing along the walls or floor of a cave.

Damn that’s pretty
Indeed. Majestic, even.
Flowstones are sheetlike deposits of calcite or other carbonate minerals, formed where water flows down the walls or along the floors of a cave.[1] They are typically found in “solution caves”, in limestone, where they are the most common speleothem. However, they may form in any type of cave where water enters that has picked up dissolved minerals. Flowstones are formed via the degassing of vadosepercolation waters.[2]
