The oreo cookies down below and the coarse one with gold colored flecks that I added more pictures of.

Here are some closeups of two of the rocks from the bunch.

All shiny spots on the chunky rock have a gold color. Easy to see with the naked eye... camera is picking up too much light and making them very reflective.

Here are closeups of the spotted rock I originally inquired about.

Welcome!

Right.
So the rusty brown fella is possibly a concreation. With limonite, which gives the brownish colour.

In the second post I see granite, which contains mica - gives those shiny spots.
And the rounded things in the last pics is a metamorphic rock with garnets.

I see it has been worked. There is a scene on the 2nd picture. If I could pull your picture up close I would show you
