@CStamp Thank you. I went through some of those simpler tests,
it's not gold.
Just pretty to look at.

@canyakker That's a classic look — the brassy color and blocky crystal shapes point to pyrite. Two quick field tests to separate it from gold: streak (pyrite leaves a greenish-black streak, gold leaves a golden one) and hardness (pyrite at ~6–6.5 scratches glass and shatters; gold is soft at ~2.5–3 and dents). Beautiful piece either way!

@defnotarobot Thank you.
I'll just enjoy its beauty. Wouldn't know what to do with a speck of gold anyway 😉.
