Six-sided ice crystals are commonly referred to as snowflakes. Snowflakes form when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses and freezes into intricate hexagonal shapes as they fall to the ground. Each snowflake's unique pattern is determined by the temperature and humidity levels it encounters during its formation.

A snowflake is a crystalline substance. Each snowflake is formed from ice crystals that have a hexagonal (six-sided) structure due to the unique arrangement of water molecules as they freeze.
Amethyst typically forms as six-sided prisms with pointed ends, creating a columnar or elongated shape. These structures are known as crystals and can vary in size and complexity.
Quartz is a mineral that commonly forms six-sided crystals due to its hexagonal crystal structure. The most well-known form of quartz with this characteristic is the clear variety known as rock crystal.
