A snowflake or a snow crystal. This snow crystal is of a plate with simple extensions. Snowflakes show typical hexagonal symmetry (as seen here) if the crystallization occurs slowly,in a calm air and in temperatures near freezing point; they are commonly flat and may have different shapes such as six sided polygons or stars. The beautiful pattern is often very complicated with needle-like structures and tiny bridges. Since the final stage is influenced by the weather conditions in which they form,no two snowflakes are identical | |
