Can someone please help me identify this

Hi I need help identifying this rock or mineral it whatever it is, it's almost Crystal like it's weird but in a good beautiful way lol

Hmm, it's got me wondering as well, maybe a broken piece of stalagmite or stalactite, picture 5 kind of reminds me of a bone, weird, its neat looking, where did you find it, I am leaning towards stalagmite probably made of calcite but someone else more experienced on here might know what it is if it isn't, wish I could be more of help.

Its a bit of Stalactite. Identifiable by the water course in the center, the round bit that looks like where a bone's marrow would be found. Stalactites form from the cieling of caves, Stalactite's form on the floor and do not have the water course feature. Mainly made of calcium carbonate but there are some other varieties of minerals that can form these cave features.

Every now and again a member posts a find of a cave formation. They do wash out from time to time and are unusual to find because they tend to break down or erode quickly because of their chemical nature and softness. So you have a good find there.
