Impossible crystals are 'from space'

Space crystals. Awesome.

One of the pictures on the article mentions "forbidden symmetry".. Hah! First thing that came to mind was "The Colour Out of Space"!

Nothing new. Even Kryptonite has strange structures and properties and came from space.

Some bright guy will find a way of making it on "terra firma" and another theory will go the same way as so many in the last couple of years

Interesting this confirms my theory, that other planets in our solar system might contain new and strange minerals which man has never seen before. Which could be harvested via robotic colony and shipped back to earth for observation and research. Later for production. I'm writting this because someone tried to convince otherwise, that all planets are made from basic substances,minerals,rocks that are found on Earth. See asteroids travel through starsystems and they carry probably lots of new stuff we cant even start to understand. For short planets around us are valuable places to mine new mi... [More]

I think it's kind of cool that they made them in the lab and then found them in nature- it does not often go that way. And I have to say, what a stunningly lovely structure those crystals have. Makes me want to craft something using that pattern, lol.
