Examples of artificially grown crystals

Protein crystals 

Protein crystals grown at pH around 2 (buffer is KCl buffered with HCl!) showing three different crystal forms (needles, plates and cubes). All three crystal forms diffracted X-rays beyond 1.8Å resolution!

Other remarks Obtaining protein crystals at pH 2 is quiet rare. But here we obtained three different crystal forms.
