The fusion crust on eucrites like Millbillbillie has a distinctive
glossy look. However, meteorites are not classified by their fusion
crusts, but their interiors. I haven't looked at the photos you mentioned,
but I suppose it is possible for other meteorites other than eucrites
have that glossy look, or perhaps the lighting on the Bruderheim made
it appear so.
