There are 2 main causes:

1. rate of cooling - slower makes bigger
2. space - the crystal can only grow into the space provided (like a geode)

The concentration of the solution but the main thing is to cool very slowly.

very important factors !
1-fabrication mechanism
2-cooling rate from liquid
3- solute concentration
4- inclusion concentration
5- work hardening
6-heat treatment
and ...
