Crystal bases are powerful combinatorial tools in the representation theory of quantum groups Uq(\mathfrakg) for a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras \mathfrakg. The polyhedral realizations are combinatorial descriptions of the crystal base B(∞) for Verma modules in terms of the set of integer points of a polyhedral cone, which equals the string cone when \mathfrakg is finite dimensional simple. It is a fundamental and natural problem to find explicit forms of the polyhedral cone. The monomial realization expresses crystal bases B(λ) of integrable highest weight representations as Laurent monomials with double indexed variables. In this paper, we give a conjecture between explicit forms of the polyhedral cones and monomial realizations. We prove the conjecture is true when \mathfrakg is a classical Lie algebra, a rank 2 Kac-Moody algebra or a classical affine Lie algebra.
