Iron pyrite ?

Used to see lots of it in Cumbria when out walking.

Looks like quartz and iron pyrite, among other things.

We do use "stream" here in the U.S.

In some areas they call it a "crick" In New York State its a "'kill". To me a brook is where brook trout live and a stream is where other trout live as in a trout stream. It is a fishing thing.

Ah so, the memories, .... nothing could be finer than a hooked jawed Brookie a "dancing" on the water of a "babbling" brook or a "meandering" stream.

And here ae a few of my "things" that have hooked onto quite a few Brook trout.

It's eerie that you posted this cogar. I was in 'my' thrift shop day before yesterday and in the collectibles section was a case of hand tied flies. My very first thought was 'Omg, I bet Wayward would love these!"  :(
