Limestone Caves

Limestone Caves would be an underground biome that has speleothems, (stalactites and stalagmites), as well as its own texture variations of the ores that generate. When these ores are mined, they drop the regular item/block, unless Silk Touch is used, in which case you get "Limestone [Type] Ore."

There would be two variations of Limestone Caves, those being "flooded" and "partially flooded," like the one shown in the image.

Limestone can be crafted into Polished Limestone, which can then be used to craft the same stone tools as normal. Or maybe Limestone should just drop Limestone Cobblestone.

    Stalactites and stalagmites should grow only in these caves. Because it's bizarre to see them on regular stone, they don't fit, it's almost if someone stuck them to the ceiling and the floor…

    You shouldn't need silk touch, it is easy to break, but i believe it's structure is uniform enough that it wouldn't just crumble. It should probably form like granite, andesite, or diorite, but more common, and in larger amounts. probably about half to 70% of the stone would be lime from about 35 to 55.
