S NOW CRYSTALS ~ sixfold symmetrical perfection
N o two snow crystals are identical ~ natural extravagance
O ne is enough ~ but billions of dazzling hexagonal gemstones
W HY ? Because ice (solid water) has hexagonal symmetry !
C rystals of Snow are crystal of ice. When water freezes it ....
R earranges from separate H2O molecules into a diamond lattice
Y ou see this exemplified in the hexagonal symmetry like the ....
S tar like hexagonal snow crystals ! This happens because
T heir hexagonal structure is determined by the structure of ice !
A ll natural crystalline shapes and colours are determined most
L ikely by the actual atomic and molecular structure of the
S ubstance from which the crystal is formed ~ in this case ICE !
