Each of the lobes of the first set includes a flat surface which is adjacent and tangential to the radius portion of the lobe. The method includes: 1) certain crystals of olivine structure with large cation in octahedral sites such as Cr4+:Ca2GeO4, Cr4+:Ca2SiO4, Cr4+:Ca2GexSi1-xO4, andor 2) high-temperature solution growth techniques that enable the growth of the crystals below the temperature of polymorphic transitions by using low melting point solvent based on oxide, fluoride andor chloride compounds.
