We have investigated the formation of microparticles-based Coulomb crystals in a linear vertical quadrupole Paul trap with a single end-cap electrode. For the first time, we have described the effect of gravity on Coulomb crystals formation. We have observed a new type of stable Coulomb crystals configuration that we referred to as "Christmas tree-like Coulomb crystals". We have provided numerical simulation and experimental research of the "Christmas tree-like Coulomb crystals" and discussed these structures in the perspective of Science and Art performance.
