	Mineral Properties: Luster
		A silky luster is the result of a mineral having a fine fibrous structure.
		Often, determining the luster of a particular specimen is personal; to some it may appear as one type of luster, and to others as a different type.
		Luster is only a useful form of mineral identification when the specimen in question displays a "special" luster, such as waxy, greasy, pearly, etc. Specimens with a vitreous luster cannot be distinguished from one another, nor can minerals with a metallic luster.

		In 1998, Deborah Luster was one of several photographers who set out to document the northeastern parishes of Louisiana under the auspices of a project funded by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities.
		Drawn perhaps by the legacy of her mother’s murder a decade before, Luster found herself knocking on the gates of the East Carroll Parish Prison Farm in Transylvania, Louisiana, and discovered the warden was open to her request to photograph inside its walls.
		Over the course of the project, Luster made over 25,000 wallet-size prints for the inmates she photographed, sometimes providing a way for the prisoners to reconnect with loved ones or to simply view their own image after decades of incarceration.

	Luster (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Most terms used to describe luster are self-explanatory: metallic, earthy, waxy, greasy, vitreous (glassy), adamantine (or brilliant, as in a faceted diamond).
		It will be necessary, at least at first, only to distinguish between minerals with a metallic luster and those with one of the non-metallic lusters.
		A metallic luster is a shiny, opaque appearance similar to a bright chrome bumper on an automobile.

		I unfortunately don't have any wire spoked wheels to try it on (the Luster Pad is also available as a "Luster Lace" specifically for use on things like spokes), but it did a fairly nice job on the bare metal tops of my Bing carburetors, which were pretty much covered in oxidation.

		Just how long it will take before Luster is returned to the U.S. remains to be seen. If Mexican immigration authorities confirm that he was in the country illegally, he could be deported — a quick process. Extradition proceedings would likely take longer.
