Sparkling Spring

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.
