The Diverse And Unique
Speleothems Of Wind

When you tour a cave, one of the attractions guides will
point out is the formation that adorns the ceilings, walls,
and the ground. These are also called speleothems. Cave
formations are made of mineral calcite, which is formed
when excess calcium from the liquid that drips from the
ceiling precipitate and hardens.

There are various types of speleothems, the most known
of which are stalactites and stalagmites, a spire-like
formation that hangs from the cave’s ceilings and rises
from the floor, respectively.
But if you want to see unique speleothems, then you
should plan a visit to South Dakota and head to Wind
Cave National Park.

Wind Cave is most known for the speleothem boxwork,
which appears as veins that are paper thin and intersect
one another. The formation can be seen in small
amounts in a few other caves, but it is quite abundant
and well-formed in Wind Cave. There are more
speleothems in the cave; a few examples are popcorn,
frostwork, frostwork-covered boxwork, dogtooth spar
crystals, and flowstone. All of these can be viewed while
on a guided tour of the cave.
However, there are also other speleothems that cannot
be seen on tour routes, such as helictite bushes, calcite
rafts, and gypsum features.
