Obviously true, Christian. And also true in John's note that cubes are better than slices in some cases due to less kerf waste. I'd imagine most (if not everyone) who have commented on the 3D aesthetic values also love spheres for similar reasons. No need to expand on that...
Thanks for all of the insight, and to you, Keith, for getting all of this rolling with your terrific pictures! I started this little banter because of a personal attack (one is not "stupid" for having a subjective opinion), as this is not the place for them.

So this is a cube. It displays wonderful the 3-dimensional arrangement of the crystals, as this cube is cut 45° to the axis of the crystals. Wonderful 3D-Display!
