In a sense, it's like a wildlife researcher who goes to the forest, takes hundreds of pictures of birds, and then selects the best photos, those which show most clearly the plumage, the feathers etc.
It's not just a question of which photograph of the same crystal they select. It's a question of which crystal from a sample they choose to photograph. Is there any reason to suppose that the crystals in a single sample all look alike?
