the shimmer that says rust, royalty, and rocket ships are basically the same finish
means Having the qualities of metal — its shine, hardness, sharp ring, or distinctive taste or smell.
from From Latin metallicus, 'of metal,' built on metallum, meaning both 'metal' and 'mine,' which Rome borrowed from Greek metallon — originally a mine or quarry, the dark hole where the shiny stuff was dug out. So the word for the gleam traces straight back to the pit it came from.
