Where are the icon themes held if they are applied?

I wanted to use one of the icons in the theme I am currently using to apply to a secondary author column. I was wondering where the icons are stored when they have been applied to Calibre already, I figured I could locate the author icon being used and apply it to my "Calibre Authors" column.

On Windows you find it at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\calibre\icons-xxx.rcc
