Answer:

Define lustre:

Lustre  is the way light interacts with the surface of a crystal, rock, or mineral. The word traces its origins back to the Latin lux, meaning "light", and generally implies radiance, gloss, or brilliance. A range of terms are used to describe lustre, such as earthy, metallic, greasy, and silky. Metals have the quality of reflecting light from its surface and can be polished e.g., gold, silver and copper.
