Anyone have any experience with said bone. Looks like an interesting cosmetic.
Thanks!

I would hope there is some kind of lacquer over it. Nickel oxide will rub off and stain everything it comes in contact with (including black tuxedos).
My guess is that it will not be much different from any other finish. But it will look different!

If that is the case Bruce, do you think there would be any issues with the lacquer adhering. Or, with the nickel oxide bleeding into the lacquer over time?

Nickel oxide is a nice rough surface and the lacquer should adhere quite well. It also adheres well to a nickel substrate and thus there is little possibility of lacquer peel. I doubt there would ever be a bleed into the lacquer since the nickel oxide crystals are fairly large relative to any pores in the lacquer.
We used to use oxide coatings as a way to bond circuit boards. The copper surface of a buried layer was oxided and then placed in contact with a layer of uncured material. Under heat and pressure the layer of uncured material bonded to the oxide and formed a solid internal that was stable for years. In fact, you probably have at least one (or more likely several) suck circuit boards in whatever computer you are using.
