I was wondering if anyone could tell me what kind on mineral this rock has speckled throughout it.

My best guess is garnets, almandine garnets maybe...

yep, garnets in gneiss

Any value to speak of?

not really, pretty common unless any of those garnets are facet-grade which I doubt. Can't tell the size but as a collector specimen maybe 20 bucks

Yep, what stdenis says. Even facet grade garnets won't bring much cash. And yet I still hunt for them occasionally lol!
