Abstract
The occurrence rates of combinatorial types of simple polyhedra {111} are analyzed for natural and artificial diamonds. The empirical occurrence rates of 14 possible polyhedra in an isotropic environment are obtained based on numeral simulation of growth forms of octahedral crystals by the Monte-Carlo method. The phenomenon of dissymmetrization by Curie’s principle related to the crystallization conditions is established for artificial and natural diamonds.
