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:
