An [[ice crystal]] exhibiting an elaborately branched (dendritic) structure of hexagonal symmetry, with its much larger dimension lying perpendicular to the principal (c axis) of the [[crystal]].</div><br/> <div class="paragraph">Such crystals usually form by vapor [[deposition]] at atmospheric temperatures between about -14° and -18°C. In sufficient concentration they readily aggregate to [[snowflakes]] by interlocking of their branches. <br/>''See'' [[dendrite]].</div><br/> </div>
