eather finish "sparkles"

I just finished dying a sheath for a large camp knife. The leather is 9 oz and the dye is dark brown, from a brand new bottle from Tandy. I deglazed with mixture of one teaspoon oxallic acid in 1 pt water. The finished sheath surface has these tiny sparkles - I don't know what else to ca them. Anyone know what causes this effect?
