We have experimentally analyzed the topological reactions occurred in the elliptic vortex-beam transmitting
orthogonally to the optical axis of the SiO2 crystal. We have revealed that the oscillations of the polarization state when
propagating the beam are accompanied by reconstruction of the polarization singularities at the beam cross-section that, in
turn, entails the reconstruction of the wavefront in each circularly polarized beam component. Both synchronic oscillations of
the spin angular momentum and the sign of the vortex topological charge are expressing in a field structure as birth and
annihilation of topological dipoles. Also periodical conversion of the vortex ellipticity along the crystal length z and huge
splash of spin angular momentum were analysed. The run of the dislocation reactions in the beam component results in
converting the sign of the topological charge in the centered optical vortex, the distance of the vortex conversion being about
0.05 of the wavelength.
