Cavern Symbols - Stalactites/Waterfalls

I'm running Night Below and I'm creating some geomorphic hex tiles using the Jon Roberts style (my favorite) for long Underdark tunnel systems (see below). I'm not able to find ANY top-down cavern symbols, specifically stalactites and waterfalls. I'm using a "column" symbol right now, but I dislike the giant black hole in the center. Any idea where I might find such symbols? It's a little odd as they seem like rather obvious good symbol additions. I'm a long-time user and have almost every product.
I would like add a waterfall long the wall here.
I would like to have a variety of stalactite symbols with points instead of a black hole.
The full tile set.

If you search for stalagmite in the C:\ProgramData\Profantasy\CC3Plus\Symbols folder, you might come up with a few. That will give you the location, and therefore the style. There aren't that many, but there are a few.
Same for waterfalls.
It really depends on which parts of the full set you haven't got.
For waterfalls, the Forest Trails waterfalls are pretty versatile and I have used them in a lot of different non-Forest Trails maps, but you could also look at Fog and Mist symbols to see if they work. On one of my maps, I used a snow terrain fill with edge fade and blurring effects to make it look like a waterfall's splash.
This example uses the "Mist" symbol from Mike Schley's SS5 along with a Snow bitmap on a sheet with Blur and Edge Fade, Inner effects.
(Ignore the bevel acne -- only shows up exporting at this zoom so I never noticed it before.)
Love that top down waterfall.
These are awesome waterfalls. They would work great as an add-on to a Mike Schley style.
