Needle-fibre calcite refers to needles and fibres of low-magnesium calcite, which are a few micrometres wide and up to several hundred micrometres long. In older micromorphological literature, especially from Eastern Europe and Russia, it has often been designated as lublinite (e.g., Ulrich, 1938, Kowalinski et al., 1972, Bal, 1975a, Bal ...
