Description:

The very rare glacial ice blue calcite aragonite hemimorphite was a stalactite, which means it was hanging in the cavity from the ceiling. Discovered during tunneling for infrastructure, it was saved from destruction by the tunnel boring machine. The blue color is extremely rare. Usually stalactites are brown, gray or even very rarely white. The first two pictures show the front and the back of the stone and the other pictures show the stalactite in sunlight, not in artificial light, from different sides.
