When you use a good laser pointer to shine the beam through your colloidal 
silver a luminous pencil thin "beam" will appear.  How bright this beam of 
light is will be dependant on how many true colloidal particles you have made.  
The beam is created by the light scattering properties of even the very 
smallest particles.  The objective should be to achieve the brightest beam you 
can before the entire solution turns yellow, indicating that the average 
particle size has become larger than what we consider to be ideal.  The 
"sparkles" that are being referred to are chunks of silver oxide that have been 
knocked off the cathode in one way or another.  Being much larger than the 
colloidal particles, they will be brightly lit when passing through the laser 
beam.  They will eventually fall out of suspension and find their way to the 
bottom.
