Ok so I will try to polish it and see what happens.

If these are tiny crystals on graphite they will most likely just fell off.

Perhaps in the realms of speculation, but surely a flash of electroless nickel would get you started? Nonconductors need a pretreatment with tin or palladium. Then electroplate over that.
