The transition from isometric to skeletal shapes during crystal growth under diffusion hindrances in matter supply has been considered as an orientational phase separation, bringing to energetically more stable surfaces. The critical deviation from the close packed crystallographic orientation and the transition time have been estimated on the basis of a simple model.
