The biological approach to forming crystals is proving to be most surprising. Three strategies evolved by organisms to build their mineralized materials will be discussed. These are: 1) Building mineralized structures with stable amorphous phases; 2) building mineralized structures with single crystals; 3) building mineralized structures with polycrystalline organized arrays. Interestingly, all appear to involve at some stage the use of an amorphous mineral phase.
