Small parts are the splats in its usual build on a computer. A phone may draw fewer.
About it
A cluster of clear crystals, captured from photos and drawn with splats. A crystal forms when atoms stack in a repeating pattern, usually while a mineral-rich liquid cools or dries slowly. Slow growth gives sharp faces that bend and bounce light.
Tap it and the crystal turns once round, so the glints move across its faces. Drag to turn it: the glints move across the faces because this capture keeps a little view-dependent shine.
