Mineral formation due to water freezing in caves causes supersaturation of the unfrozen part of the solution and deposition of some dissolved compounds in the form of minerals. Evaporation of water and degassing of the solution are associated processes in deposition of minerals. Cryogenic minerals of caves differ in morphology and isotopic composition from similar mineral cave formations not subject to glaciation. The morphology and mineralogy of cryogenic cave minerals depend on the initial che
