Each winter season brought different motives for a virtually infinite possibilities of abstracts, especially those of etching structure details of melting ice stalagmites. Analogical to etching of other mineral species such as beryl, topaz or quartz, these structures also had common features and some similarities although each produced image turned out to be unique.
