I was at work putting a new fence up in someones garden and i found this collection of rocks about 2-3ft under a hard rocky gravel they seem to have Silver reflective flakes that can be pulled off easily and looks like glass shards that are kind of see through and they are also pretty heavy for the small size too. I have just had them laying around wondering what the heck they are hopefully someone can tell me

I just searched it up and it looks very similar to Mica I guess its not that special, Thanks for the Information though :)

not necessarily, the photos are not close-up enough and a bit to over exposed to see what else is there, try shooting them again possibly outside without the direct flash. there could be some other interesting things in those besides micas, looks like there might be other minerals but cant really tell.

I will have to retake some better images tomorrow as it is dark out and the flash was the only way to get a good picture

The rock itself can be called a pegmatite I would think.
