Comment
Sculptures from the sky.Canada is best known for its snow. That great blanket of white that covers the landscape is famous around the world!
Its tiny ice crystals come in countless shapes and sizes. If the weather is very cold, the snowflakes will fall as “dry” powder. Or, they may form slender columns that look like tiny wooden pencils under a microscope. But, snowflake seekers can be treated to the iconic star shape that can be seen when the conditions are just right. Windless conditions and -15°C (5°F) temperatures mean every ice crystal can grow large and drift gently earthward without hitting any other crystals to form its six sided shape.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Elizabeth II (Crystal Snowflake) coin is that it features a unique crystal snowflake design on its reverse side, which was created using a special technique that involves cutting and polishing a real snowflake into a crystal shape. This process was done in collaboration with a Canadian crystal artist, and it adds a touch of natural beauty to the coin's design.
