It is highly likely that the rock  is a combination of multiple minerals and crystals. Metamorphic rocks, like the one depicted, often contain a mix of minerals that have undergone transformation due to heat and pressure. Here are the probable components:
The combination of these minerals gives the rock its distinct appearance. Each mineral contributes to the overall texture, luster, and color of the rock. The rock was found in the mountains of Afghanistan, a region known for its rich geological diversity, it reinforces the initial identification of the rock as likely being a mica schist with potential inclusions of pyrite or other sulfide minerals. Afghanistan's mountains are known for various metamorphic rocks and mineral deposits, including:

1. *Mica Schist:* This type of metamorphic rock is characterized by the presence of mica, which gives it a shiny, flaky appearance. Mica schists are common in mountainous regions with a history of metamorphism.

2. *Pyrite:* Often found in metamorphic rocks, pyrite has a metallic luster and a pale brass-yellow hue, which could account for the golden appearance in it.
3. *Quartz:* Often found in metamorphic rocks, quartz may be present as well, although it is not as visually distinctive as mica or pyrite.

4. *Other Sulfides or Oxides:* Depending on the specific geological history of the region, other minerals like chalcopyrite, sphalerite, or various oxides might be present.
