Dancer's glitter rock ID needed ? ? ?

I was hopeing for an I D on this rock. It's heavy and crumbles easily with a hammer and turns into powder like. I look like Ive been dusted with some dancers glitter . The rock is very shiny throughout. It came from the southwest USA. Thanks Extractor

If not readily attracted to a magnet, it is probably specular hematite (specularite). C

It looks like the same rock (mica schist) we picked up in New Mexico several years ago. Very heavy, some pink color. It had fairy crystals (crosses) and garnets in it.
