Snowflake.
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 is a form of quartz. Quartz belongs to the trigonal crystal system. The ideal crystal shape is a six-sided prism terminating with six-sided pyramids at each end.
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.

Crystals form in the shapes of hexagons or six-sided prisms.
Six-sided crystals are typically referred to as hexagonal crystals. This term is derived from their geometric shape, which features six sides or faces. Hexagonal crystal systems can include minerals such as quartz and beryl, and they are characterized by their unique symmetry and arrangement of atoms.

All snowflakes are six-sided crystals

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.
A 6-sided ice crystal is typically referred to as a hexagonal ice crystal. It forms when water molecules freeze together in a hexagonal pattern due to the molecular structure of water. These crystals are commonly seen in snowflakes.
No, quartz crystals are not cubic. They are hexagonal prisms with a six sided pyramid on the top.
Amethyst is a form of quartz. Quartz belongs to the trigonal crystal system. The ideal crystal shape is a six-sided prism terminating with six-sided pyramids at each end.
Cystine crystals resemble hexagonal crystals, similar to those of quartz or snowflakes. They usually appear as colorless, six-sided prisms or tablets under a microscope.
