This is medium size (3 millimeters in diameter or slightly more) and quite unusual snowflake, with its long, straight arms without any branches and ring of very thin and clean icy "petals" around center. I have not remember any similar crystal from 8 winters of snowflake photography.

7 serial shots was averaged to boost signal-to-noise ratio. Background: dark woolen fabric, natural light (cloudy sky), external optics Helios 44M-5, January 2015, Moscow.

In November 2016 i photographed similar snowflake - The shard:

Also, i combined these two snow crystals into one picture:
