Emulsions tend to have a cloudy appearance because the many phase interfaces scatter light as it passes through the emulsion. Emulsions appear white when all light is scattered equally. If the emulsion is dilute enough, higher-frequency and low-wavelength light will be scattered more, and the emulsion will appear bluer - this is called the "Tyndall effect". If the emulsion is concentrated enough, the color will be distorted toward comparatively longer wavelengths, and will appear more yellow. This phenomenon is easily observable when comparing skimmed milk, which contains little fat, to cream, which contains a much higher concentration of milk fat. Two special classes of emulsions - microemulsions and nanoemulsions, with droplet sizes below 100 nm - appear translucent.This property is due to the fact that light waves are scattered by the droplets only if their sizes exceed about one-quarter of the wavelength of the incident light. Since the visible spectrum of light is composed of wavelengths between 390 and 750 nanometers (nm), if the droplet sizes in the emulsion are below about 100 nm, the light can penetrate through the emulsion without being scattered.
When you hold the material up, transparent would be you can clearly see through it. Translucent is when you can still see through it, but everything is all misty and blurry. And opaque completely blocks the light, like a book would or a piece of steel.Highly pigmented materials would be opaque. Milky quartz is translucent. Transparent is things such as calcite, clear quartz or emerald, and most glass.
Limewater get milky at the presence of carbon dioxide dissolved in it.
The amount of light reflected by a material is called its reflectance index. Marble has a higher incidence of reflection, especially when it is polished.
I think the word your looking for is ejaculation and you'll know because a milky white substance will come out of your penis.

Milky aquamarine is a naturally occurring aquamarine that is translucent to opaque, rather than being transparent or allowing light to pass through completely. Although a completely transparent aquamarine is more valuable, milky aquamarine can be very nice. Its colors are generally the same as aquamarine, with the appearance that milk was added.

Chalcedony is a form of fine-grained quartz which is nearly transparent or has a milky translucence.
Chylous ascites has a milky appearance
Amorphous solids can be converted into crystalline solids by alternate heating and cooling. Glass objects of ancient monuments, over the years, due to exposure to sunlight and being cooled at night becomes partly crystalline giving it a milky appearance.

The lymph in the lacteals has a milky appearance due to its high fat content and is called chyle.
Milky with protein... I'm thinking the prostate gland. Bacterial growth?
Pure calcite is transparent or slightly translucent, however less pure samples are milky white.
