ice needle

A long, thin ice crystal, axis coincident with the c axis of ice and with the cross section perpendicular to its long dimension being, at least in part, hexagonal. Ice needles grow in a narrow range of temperature near −4°C and also at much lower temperatures, below −25° to −50°C depending on ice supersaturation.
