Diamond is highly shiny, prestigious and hard and is 100% carbon.
The carbon allotrope 'diamond' in its natural un-cut state is dull. however, when a jeweller cuts it , it becomes very shiny; a' girls best friend'. Other allotropes of carbon are graphite - dull, and buckminster fullerene ??? dull or shiny.
Carbon itself does not exhibit luster as it is typically found in a dull, black solid form. However, certain forms of carbon, such as diamond, can exhibit a very high luster due to its ability to refract and reflect light.
Pure boron (a metalloid) is not found in nature. Boron will be combined with something else. Pure boron could be shiny, but will usually be a brown powder when combined with carbon.
A metal and carbon combination can appear shiny and metallic, with a color that can range from silver to gray or black depending on the specific metal and carbon content. The presence of carbon can also give the material added strength and hardness.
Gold is a very shiny metal as it is a unreactive metal. Silver, Stainless steel, copper, aluminium, brass and platinum are also shiny metals. x
Only as a diamond crystal.

No, not every shiny element is a metal. While many metals exhibit a shiny appearance due to their ability to reflect light, some non-metals can also appear shiny. For example, certain allotropes of carbon, like graphite, can have a shiny luster, and some metalloids may also display a shiny surface. Hence, shininess is not exclusively a characteristic of metals.

No; think of carbon. This is a non-metallic element; it exists in the forms of diamond and graphite - both "shiny" substances.

It is a shiny, hard, grayish-white metalloid in the carbon group, chemically similar to tin and silicon.
I guess you are referring to the shiny metallic appearance when you say 'silver' Carbon is not silver in appearance. Sulphur is not silver in appearance. Both Carbon and Sulphur are elements.
Anthracite coal has the highest carbon content among all types of coal. It is a hard, shiny, and dense coal that is often referred to as "hard coal."
