Depth hoar is the result of high temperature gradient metamorphism(Marbouty, 1980) and consists of large faceted crystals, with at least some of them cup-shaped and hollow. The density of this type was always <0. 25. Faceted crystals are produced by metamorphism of lower temperature gradient, and usually form in snow with density >0. 25, that is too high to allow depth hoar formation. 4, record 9, English, - faceting

Solid faceted crystals are those in which the original crystal form is often no longer discernible and the crystals begin to take on an angular, faceted or striated appearance with straight edges and angular corners beginning to predominate. Faceted grains typically tend to be larger grains and are often significantly larger than the grain from which they formed... Commonly referred to as "facets" or "sugar snow" these grains tend to be found in softer or weaker snowpack layers. Faceted grains typically form when there is a strong temperature gradient in the snowpack(>1 degree/10 cm). This strong temperature gradient occurs most often in areas where the snowpack is shallow and temperatures are cold. 8, record 14, English, - facet

When faceted crystals develop deep in the snowpack, they are usually referred to as "depth hoar" crystals.
