Crystalline solids consist of atoms, ions and molecules arranged in definite and repeating three-dimensional patterns in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions...
Anisotropy is observed in crystalline solids because the concentration of the atoms is different in different directions of the unit cell. If you look along the X-axis, the concentration of particles around it is different than the distribution of atoms around the y-axis and same is for the z-axis..
