    Lustrous property

    Explanation:

    Materials like metals that have lustre usually glow or display sheen when light comes in contact with the surface of the material.

    It is derived from the Latin word "lux" meaning "light", which is indicative of radiance or gloss.

    Lustre is a common property of metals, including sonourousity, malleability and ductility amongst others.
