Examples of wurtzite

wurtzite
The wurtzite structure is most stable at ambient conditions and thus most common.

Zinc oxide crystallizes in two main forms, hexagonal wurtzite and cubic zincblende.

Both sphalerite and wurtzite are intrinsic, wide-bandgapsemiconductors.

The first, wurtzite boron nitride, is similar in structure to diamond but made of boron and nitrogen.

In vacuum, wurtzite becomes more stable than sphalerite when the particle size is less than 7 nm at 300 K.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The hexagonal form is known as the mineral wurtzite, although it also can be produced synthetically.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Paradoxically, wurtzite boron nitride's hardness appears to come from the flexibility of the bonds between the atoms that make it up.
