Helictite flower

[HSI]

When Caving in OFD2 this weekend we managed to find a Helictite that looked like a (albeit sad looking) flower. I've not seen a Helictite before that appears to have crystal growth at the end and was wondering if anyone had anymore information. Thanks in advance

Interesting! Might be worth a look in Art Palmer's "Cave Minerals of the World" book, if you can access a copy.

Aragonite tube / stal with flower extension?

You can compare with some argonite pics here aragonite formations (especially in the white collection you can see some good examples)
