No.
Scoria rock generally has a dull to glassy luster. It can appear shiny if it has a vesicular texture with many cavities reflecting light, but overall its luster is not as shiny as some other volcanic rocks like obsidian.
glassy texture
Glassy texture in igneous rocks refers to a smooth and reflective appearance resembling glass. This texture is formed when the molten rock cools rapidly, preventing mineral crystals from developing. Glassy texture is typically seen in obsidian, a type of volcanic glass.
Scoria typically contains minerals such as olivine, plagioclase, pyroxene, and magnetite. Additionally, it may also have glassy material resulting from the rapid cooling of the magma during its formation.
The resulting texture of extremely rapid cooling of lava, where no crystals form, is known as glassy or obsidian texture. This type of texture is smooth, with no visible crystal structures, and can appear shiny or reflective. Glassy textures typically form when lava cools very quickly at the Earth's surface or in water.

A glassy texture.
Obsidian is an extrusive rock that cooled very rapidly without forming crystals. As a result, obsidian has a smooth, shiny texture of a thick piece of glass.
It is fine grained to glassy and contains vesicles.
No. Scoria is a basaltic lava ejected as fragments from a volcano, typically with a frothy texture.

Obsidian is an igneous rock with a glassy texture. Its texture is also called hyaline, the Greek word for texture.

They are said to have a glassy or vitreous texture.
