Is an infinite HCP lattice stable?

Hey mate!
There are no infinite lattices in nature. And with unscreened Coulomb interaction, there is probably not even a way to construct a well-defined thermodynamic limit (as the energy per volume will also diverge). So I don't think this question makes much sense to start with. But if it were, I'd say "unstable" since separating the particles will decrease the energy.
Thanks for the question!
