Cave Minerals
Cave Minerals are minerals which grow in natural caves.
Many minerals growing in narrow cracks or inside the rock are not taken into
account.
And you will find, some minerals are typical for karst caves, like
calcite, aragonite and gypsum, and that is what is normally
associated with the term cave mineral.

Cave Minerals of the World,
National Speleological Society, ISBN: 1879961075, 2nd edition (1997), hardcover, 463 pages
The best book about cave minerals I have ever seen.
Many minerals, you have never heard of and you will never see in reality.
But make sure to buy the 2nd edition: the pictures are worth the price!
