A crystal's shape is determined by the arrangement of the atoms within the crystal. Th arrangement of atoms in turn is determined by the kinds of atoms that make up the mineral. (from textbook: Holt Science & Technology: Earth Science)

What is Circle of light around sun or moon created by light refracted by ice crystals in cold cirrus clouds?
This optical phenomenon is called a "halo." Halos are formed when light is refracted and reflected by ice crystals in the atmosphere, creating a ring of light around the sun or moon. The shape and size of the halo depend on the type and orientation of the ice crystals.
