What should legit shatter look/smell like?

Seems like every other post about shatter there is a comment or 9 like, "man that's whack motor oil" or something of the like. Soooooo would any of our apparent experts like to give us a go to guide on purchasing quality shatter? Any pics from known top shatter vendors?

It's really hard to tell the quality from a picture.
Color: From clear to red. Preferably somewhere in the middle. Never black or green. Color should represent the color of the trichomes.
Translucent: If it is shatter you should be able to see through it, unless it is super thick or it is crumble.
Consistency: Should break at room temp<70. If you can pull a long string= pull and snap. Runny = sap.

DM is a wax/crumble, good color though. WS good stability, but the color is a little dark. CB is picture perfect.

It should shatter and snap like hard candy and smell dank. Usually amber color and translucent.

You should be able to play with it with your fingers if purged/dewaxed correctly. Also, it should be an amber/yellow translucent color. Brown,green or Black shatter is not good as it is full of waxes/chlorophyll.
