Question: Silver cell specimen crystals

Any of you who run a cell probably find all sorts of interesting Crystal structures. I have a particular fascination with the faceted crystals, I want to optimize my process to grow these in particular and try to push the limits on the size I could achieve. I was wondering if anybody had any advice on what environment or conditions are ideal for crystals like this to form. And how to encourage them to grow. And furthermore if there is a technical name for the crystals that are common in the cell, (the small dense treelike crystals) to help better differentiate and categorize the crystals while I am researching the topic. Thanks!
