I don't know why you would concern yourself with the outward morphology
of the crystal, rather than its diffraction quality. I have grown some
gorgeous little gems which did not diffract well.

Dear All,
I am optimizing a crystal. In one of the optimizing conditions I find
the crystal is cubic-like shape (the crystal is not large, but
absolutely not the traditional "tiny crystal". The crystal has some
kind of faces and edges but not so sharp, and it is absolutely not
round). But after 1 day the crystal changed into sphere form (the
"cubic" not obvious).
Will you please introduce your experience on how to get the sharp face
and sharp edge crystal for my situation)?
There is source says if the crystal grows too faster, the sharpness
would be lost. Will you please also let me know how to slow down the
growth rate of the crystal?
Cheers,
Acoot
