I am processing some Uruacu and some of the pieces have huge shiny black
inclusions that almost have a mirror like reflective surface.
Does anyone know what these are, you can see a lot of them in this 354 gram
slice:

Does anyone have any tips on photographing this material. It doesn't have a
lot of contrast but the etch looks 1000% better then what this image shows:

I have tried shooting it from various angles, with and with out flash,
inside, outside, nothing seems to really capture the look of the etch
----------------------------------------------------------------
Speaking of the etch, does anyone have any ideas on how to get more
contrast, I have tried a variety of Nitric Acid and Ferric Chloride
Solutions and I have even tried various combination of both.
If anyone can offer any help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
