Collection of hexagonal plate snowflakes

Hexagonal plates is one of my favorite snowflake types. These snow crystals are small, usually 1,5 millimeters or less, and biggest specimens that i've seen so far was around 2 millimeters in diameter. But, despite small size and very simple shape, these snowflakes have their own beauty, hidden in amazing patterns and internal structure.

Here is collection of already processed crystals from my huge snowflake archive, which i build within 8 winters of intensive photo sessions. I have lots of other amazing hexagonal plates in archive, but quality processing of such tiny object requires time and patience. I'll append here links to new processed photos when they are ready.

Just click on photos you like, and they will open as full resolution versions:
