The shiny piece found in a rock when it cools could be a mineral like pyrite or mica. These minerals often form in cooling molten rock and can appear shiny due to their crystal structure reflecting light.
I found a piece of igneous rock, which is formed from cooled and solidified magma. This rock typically has a crystalline structure and may contain minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica.
Emeralds are typically dark green and can have a shiny appearance. You can try scratching the rock against a piece of glass to see if it leaves a streak. In addition, you could take the rock to a jeweler or gemologist for a professional assessment.
you would normally find igneous rock which is formed by cooled magma.
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.
Basalt.

Volcanic glass or obsidian is a quickly cooled igneous rock without a mineral crystal structure.

Serpentine, a shiny, green and blue rock found throughout California, was named the official State Rock in 1965.

A xenolith is a piece of rock having a different origin to that of the igneous rock in which it is found.
Basalt.
Yes. Cooled lava is extrusive igneous rock.
Igneous rock is formed from solidified and cooled magma or lava.
Basalt: a dark-colored, fine-grained rock that forms from rapidly cooled lava. Granite: a light-colored, coarse-grained rock that forms from slowly cooled magma deep within the Earth's crust. Obsidian: a shiny, black volcanic glass that forms from rapidly cooled lava without crystallization.
A cinder is a piece of molten rock that has been thrown out by an explosive eruption. You may still call these fragments cinders after they have cooled.
