I noticed them, too. I think Bill is correct. We've occasionally seen these things in previous MIs and even other cameras. My best guess is that these are specular reflections from shiny surfaces, quite possibly from some tiny crystal faces of the minerals comprising the rock.
If I had noticed such glints while inspecting a rock on earth with my hand-lens, I'd focus in on the spots to see if I could recognize the mineral. -------------------- ...Tom
