Biogenic crystals are crystals that grow inside or under the influence of living organisms. Their forms are very diverse and the process of their growth is extremely complex. Understanding how they are formed, what role they play in living organisms and what physical properties they have will open the way for us to use them in various applications, e.g. medicine or even in the fight against the effects of climate change.
