Please search this board for information on aventurine as what you describe has nothing to do with ruby gold. Ruby gold is a shade of pink. Selenium red is red. And copper red is dark red - all of these are colours, not inclusions. Visible glitter is either gold foil, silver foil, mica or aventurine glass.
Feel free to post a photograph which would take the guesswork out of id-ing yours.
