and how could it be possible?

Theoretically one can grow as big monocryistals as he have material...
But I am not sure that it is possible in practice...
and besides, it would cost too much, and today, no one really needs such a big Crystal (they use big ones in lasers, but not 30ft. ones).
you can have some molecular physics book to see the technology, which is based on a principle, that in certain circumstances the atoms of Crystal get oriented, and if you have those circumstances (temperature, humidity, pressure etc.) you will have a monocrystals

you'll be able to use a small crystal as a seed crystal. In the case of quartz you'll want temperatures and pressures now not more commonly to be had external a lab. It's inexpensive to uncover or purchase a better common crystal or purchase a lab grown one, that are beautiful fascinating.
