Stovepiping is a colorful term, even with political connotations. For 
oriented, icicled or "spiculigenous meteorites", do the terms 
"spiculiform" (adj.) and spicules (n.) have precedence?

If they are really thin, hairlike projections, would cilium (pl. cilia, 
adj. ciliated) work?

Best wishes from lee side,
