Dripstone, or flowstone, appears to cascade down the cave wall as flowing shapes like melting ice.

Dripstone, or flowstone, appears to cascade down the cave wall as flowing shapes like melting ice in the Frozen Niagara section of Mammoth Cave. Dripping water redeposits dissolved limestone over centuries to form these calcite formations in myriad forms as stalactites, stalagmites, columns and "flowstone".
