Beaded Christmas SnowflakesA short story on Snowflake Snowflakes are actually snow crystals, they are usually in the form of small hexagonal prisms. The snow crystal growth usually begins up in the cloud with a dust particle, which provides a structure on which water molecules can start condensing to form a snow crystal and starts it's process of splintering. No snow crystals are exactly alike, just like our fingerprints. It is believed that each snowflake is made up of from 2 to about 200 separate crystals.
