Sparkling Metal

Sparkling

Sparkling is an optical phenomenon exhibited by materials, both solids and liquids, in which numerous points of light appear and disappear, or change in brightness as the material, observer, or light source moves, creating an impression of brilliance and visual movement. In many materials, this effect results from specular reflection by small reflective particles, facets, or flakes that direct incident light toward the observer, although sparkling can also result from refraction and other optical phenomena.

Metal

A metal is a material that, when polished or fractured, shows a lustrous appearance, and conducts electricity and heat relatively well. These properties are all associated with having electrons available at the Fermi level, as opposed to nonmetallic materials which do not. Metals are typically ductile and malleable.
