Description

Maybe this is "8 March snowflake" or "Valentine's day snowflake", but actually it was captured in January 2015. This small hexagonal plate crystal, less than 1 millimeter in size, reveals unusual pattern of six heart-shaped elements, pointing at corners of hexagon. This is first case when i saw something resembling heart inside of snow crystal.

Unfortunately, i photographed this crystal not as good as it deserves: from 8 serial RAW photos, which i've took for averaging process, 5 images have poor lighting, and i had only three good source shots to work with. So, i've tried my best to remove noise as possible while preserving all significant snowflake details.

One year after i was lucky to take photo of another snow crystal with six tiny hearts, connected to corners of central hexagon. This snowflake much bigger than first specimen. You can see this crystal, "Heart-powered star", in galleries "All snowflakes" and "Bright snowflakes".
