Gang,

It'll be fun to see who can type fastest when it is

Regarding the fusion crust, I have been shopping for a
nice Tatahouine, and I have been surprised at how many
little fragments actually do have tiny patches of
fusion crust. It's mostly at a hand-lens scale, but
more often than not, there is a bit present.

Cheers (and fast typing!)

It is rare to find any crust on Tatahouines.
But it does happen, and then the crust is not black but ash-gray.
Take a look:
