A cylindrical mass of calcium carbonate hanging from the roof of a limestone cave (10)

I believe the answer is:

stalactite

(Other definitions for stalactite that I've seen before include "produced drippily in a cave" , "underground rock" , "Cave deposit" , "It depends" , "Structure hanging from the roof of a cave" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
