Yes, and as example, the quite bland Fredericksburg will show beautiful
Neumann lines when properly etched with Ferric Chloride.

I have to agree with Martin, Neumann lines will show if they are there.

 There is no 'magic potion' needed (though some chemicals are better than
others), not all pieces will show lines, depends on the stresses on the
particular piece in question.

 Use a good etchant like Ferric Chloride, good surface preparation (no saw
marks!) is vital.... ;)

Not to forget to mention, that not in each and every specimen of a find or
fall, the Neumann lines are likewise developed.

Sometimes they will appear extremely sharp, sometimes faint, some pieces
won't have any - and that is independent from the preparation mode.

What a striking point, Sergey! My Guadalupe y Calvo just looks the same in a
plain simple photograph. :-) We learn it?s all a matter or light and
photographic skills and everything else to get "the real thing" transported
to another viewer, and even when showing such a specimen to another person
right on a spot, you have "to turn it here-there, left-right", just the way
you well described it!

Thanks for this alternative picture, very good indeed in comparison!
