Hmm... A chiral snowflake would be impossible in roughly homogeneous, isotropic growth conditions, but in a different ambient field, maybe it would be possible!
Note that this flake tiles the plane. This does not seem to be the case with real snowflakes. That other family of three (prototiles) only tile the plane if they work together. These were carefully morphed from a family of two (a triangle and a hexagon), in the process the triangle was split into the two roughly triangular things shown. Best regards, jj
