Stalactites may be composed of lava, minerals, mud, peat, pitch, sand, sinter, and amberat (crystallized urine of pack rats) [2][3] A stalactite is not necessarily a speleothem, though speleothems are the most common form of stalactite because of the abundance of limestone caves [2][4]

- Different Types Of Stalactite Formations - WorldAtlas
Once the lava ceases to flow, the growth of the stalactite stops Hence, if one were to break the stalactite at this point, it would not grow back again These stalactites are formed by various mechanisms and are of various sub-types depending on the formation mechanism
