I learned decades ago - pulverized metals are darker than solids, non-metals get
brighter (band gaps bla, bla..). This is hard to realize within a povray
material, but you are right - fractalized or micronized metals aren't very
shiny. To my knowlwdge this is especially true for noble metals.
To obscure structure and texture contributions is one of my few standard tricks.
