Hi Michael, List,

Sorry for the late reply. Just got home.
The specimen has not been coated or altered in any other way.
It is as found.
The feature you describe as glossy is merely a light reflection in the
specimens crust.
I am using a very powerful light so that might be the reason the crust seems
a little bit glossy.
The pictures have only been white adjusted in photoshop.
I hope I could answer the question.
Regards
Moritz

Hi Karl,
        Can you tell us why the Millbillilli looks like it was coated
With shellac? Is this some kind of photo phenomenon? Did you
"push" one of the photoshop adjustments or is the specimen
Somehow altered to be "glossey?"
        Thanks, Michael
