Honeycomb weathering, also called honeycombs or honeycombed sandstone, is a form of cavernous weathering made up of regular, closely packed, patterned cavities less than 2 centimeters across that develop in weathered bedrock and resemble a honeycomb. It is also known by names such as alveoli, lacework, stonelace, fretting, or miniature tafoni weathering, and represents a smaller-scale subcategory of the broader cavernous weathering process found in rock types worldwide.
