Hmm yes. I was afraid that was the case. However, as you say, duplicate 
should be of some help here. Crystals, after all have all kinds of 
well-defined symmetries. Problem might be however, if you have to account 
for different growth rates along certain crystallographic axis... (my 
crystallography and mineralogy  courses are very far behind me). No, maybe 
not that simple after all...
