I think that the residual shape is a micro-thin bit of ice floating on
the top of the water - maybe just enough to resist the surface tension
of the droplet. Thanks for looking!

Fascinating. I never would have thought that the shape of the crystal would
linger in the drop of water.
I thought of you a couple of weeks ago when a snowflake hit my windshield and
spread out. To my surprise, it retained the crystald shape, even as it expanded
to about a quarter inch or so in diameter.

The local forecast for last night was lows in the mid-20's F and steady snow. I
had hopes of getting a few snow crystal photos, but as luck had it the temps
stayed warm - just about at the freezing point - most of the night. SO, I took
a few shots of melting crystals, mostly trying ot capture the very last
vestiges of the snow crystal before it is completely melted. I had shot one
doing that a few years ago, and thought at least I could replicate the
experiment.
SO - melting crystals:
