[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 668950, member: 4485"] Most likely sandstone stained by iron oxide/s. Possibly related to the general geology of the area (sedimentary rocks + igneous top layer) but unlikely to be directly related to the sparkles in your rock. Your rock is most likely a sedimentary rock (probably sandstone). Sandstone can contain one or more "sparkly" type minerals like quartz sand, feldspar, mica. [/QUOTE]
