Abstract
Ice Crystals in the Air are grouped into three fundamental forms, as follows.
a) hexagonal twin-prism,
b) hexagonal prism,
c) hexagonal plate.
Each crystal grows into a skeleton-shaped form, and the hexagonal plate especially shows a beautiful variety observed under the optical microscope. Some examples of these crystals are shown in Figs.1 and 2
