Gadolinium‐iron garnet crystals grown from low‐volatility molten PbO‐B 2 O 3 solutions exhibit macroscopic dendritic growth patterns indicative of their growth sequence and mechanism. There exists a growth anisotropy preferring the [001] direction from which (100) and (010) axial‐plane dendrites radiate. The equilibrium {211} and {110} faces grow from intermediate branch dendrites which are attached to the (100) and (010) dendrites.
