what the inclusion body pellets look like

Hi, all, 

I recently extracted overexpressed protein which was expressed probably in the form of inclusion body. I break the E. coli cells and spin down the pellet. It seemed kinds of difficulty to resuspend the pellet. Also, the suspensions are pretty jelly-like (Viscosity problem?) I'm wondering is this normal for inclusion body isolation?
