You want reflective speckles in your material. You'll ennd to place them. As 
clipka said, use MANY small triangles randomly rotated and scattered trohough 
your object.  As clipka suggested, you can give those various colours. You can 
also add some irid to them. Be sure that the reflection is not perfect. 
Something like reflection 0.7 should be mostly OK.
You may also try to add some fade_color to your object's material.
