A stalagmite is below a stalactite and they both grow, eventually to meet.(石筍在鐘乳石下面，它們二者都在增長，最終會合。)

On the aspect of forms, there are stalagmite, stalactite, lime-flower, stone-bar, stone-bed etc.(論形態，石鐘乳、石筍、石花、石芝、石柱、石床……眾體皆備。)

During the formation of stalactite and stalagmite in karst caves carbonate minerals often trap gas and aqueous fluids, forming immiscible fluid inclusion population when they are crystallizing.(喀斯特溶洞中石鐘乳和石筍在形成過程中，碳酸鹽礦物結晶時，常常捕獲周圍水溶液和氣體，形成不混溶流體包裹體組合。)

This is a high stalagmite about 19 meters, 20 centimeters in diameter or so, but because of their small, so called needle, not the column or stick.(這是一根高約19米的石筍，直徑20厘米左右，因其細而高，所以稱其為針，而不是柱或棒。)

Do you know what is a stalagmite?(你知道什么是石筍嗎？)

In one place, near at hand, a stalagmite had been slowly growing up from the ground for ages, builded by the water-drip from a stalactite overhead.(不遠處有個石筍，已有些年月，它是由頭頂上的鐘乳石滴水所形成的。)

Note the massive ice stalagmite growing up from the ground to meet the ice tube… will the water freeze before the twain shall meet?(現在看看這些從地上“長”起來的巨大的冰柱，水會在它和和“冰管”連住之前凍住么？)

Once a stalactite and a stalagmite are connected, then it is called a column.(當鐘乳石與石筍連在一起，稱之為圓柱。)

There a highest stalagmite in the world - — Dinghu Peak.(在那有世界第一高的石筍---鼎湖峰。)

On the basis of the mechanism of stalagmite growth, this papaer presents leading thickness measurements of stalagmite microlayer.(在分析石筍微層形成機理的基礎上，介紹了石筍微層厚度測量的主要方法及影響因素。)
