Subject: [FRIAM] A fractal question


A biologist writes me a question about fractals that I cannot answer:

"If a small portion is dissected out of a snowflake and suspended in
supersaturated cold air will new water molecules condense on it as a
scaffolding and thereby perpetuate the pattern of the snowflake from which
the seed was dissected?"

Can anyone here answer?
