drapery cave formation

Cave Draperies, or Cave Bacon, form as calcite rich water trickles down an inclined bedrock surface.  Over thousands of years a thin line of calcite builds up along the wall as water follows this same path over and over.  These formations appear in caves in all different shapes, sizes and colors.
