How to use «Unique» in context?

One word can sum up something as unique as a snowflake, and that word is «minimal.» No two snowflakes are alike, and that’s what makes them so special. The variety of shapes, sizes, and colors found on a snowflake is a marvel to behold and a testament to the simple beauty of nature. Snowflakes are also unique in that they can be distinguished from other flakes by the way they collect on the ground. Other than that, snowflakes are pretty much just icy versions of dust.
