The effect of sharp increase (by several orders of magnitude) in the growth rate of faces of helium quantum crystals, growing at temperatures below the superfluidity transition temperature, which was discovered more than a quarter of a century ago and still remains enigmatic, is interpreted within the quataron concept of nonclassical crystal formation.
