✦ Synopsis

Presence and size of a face in the habit are conditioned by the value of relative growth velocity RA/R,,i,A with respect to the critical growth velocity. It has been established that during the growth of crystals only certain values of relative growth velocities RA/RcrilA occur. Faces of KBC crystals realize values of RA/RcritA between 0 and 2. Unity is the demarcation level below which appearance and above which disappearance of faces takes place. Edges and corners of crystals are places where new faces appear during changes in growth conditions.

## Abstract Faces of three‐dimensional crystals have been divided into edge and corner ones to describe the phenomenon of their disappearance and appearance during the crystal growth. The expression for the critical growth velocity governing the presence of corner faces has been derived and verifie
