Examples of artificially grown crystals
Cobalt Niobate
 |
| This crystal was grown via the optical floating zone method. two sides consisted of perfectly flat facets, with a spiral-like structure on the other two faces. The tip is a polycrystal resulting from the termination of the floating zone and cooling. |
