The ray field can display a complicated pattern near singularities in inhomogeneous anisotropic elastic media. The peculiarities in the ray field arise particularly near conical and wedge singularities, which generate linear, circular, or elliptical anticaustics in their vicinities. The anticaustic represent barriers for rays and prevent the rays from crossing them.
