A flat surface is indeed required to give specular reflection, but it does not prevent diffuse reflection.
A diffuse reflection is generally not hazardous but specular reflections can be just as dangerous as direct exposures.
Fresnel reflection is directional and therefore does not contribute significantly to albedo which is primarily diffuse reflection.
The individual crystallites may be transparent, but their facets (grain boundaries) reflect or scatter light resulting in diffuse reflection.
It is a diffuse reflection due to scattering, as opposed to specular reflection like a mirror.
Diffuse reflection is typically characterized by omni-directional reflection angles.
Diffuse reflection describes opaque, non limpid materials, such as paper or rock.
This is called diffuse reflection or scattering, and it is typically characterized by wide variety of reflection angles.
