Weird issue with icon in OpenLayers (svg icon doesn't display, when similar icons do)

Question

I've got a weird issue with following code

I don't understand why "setStyle" doesn't display an image icon on "stoneVectorLayer". Everything is the same as in two other vector layers, which work. Markers are there, because I can see them when I remove the "setStyle". "setStyle" somehow works, because it makes those markers disappear or at least invisible, but I don't get why it doesn't display an icon instead.

I've done some testing and it looks like an issue with the image. Some images work when I put it there, but some don't. Image used in this code doesn't work on other layers either, so the question is why OpenLayers doesn't render some images? .png copies of the same icons don't work either.

The icon is also displayed properly in the Edge browser, but not in Firefox.

The issue is with the icon itself (https://image.flaticon.com/icons/svg/826/826968.svg). It doesn't contain a height or a width (which all the others do).

proof of concept (just the stone icons)
