Hello guys,
Could be this a gold? It is on small clusters 1-2mm but is not solid like gold nuggets. Easily split/fragment on flakes with yellow/gold shining color. The shiny flakes are soft and easy turn into (gold) dust.

honestly that looks to me like vermiculite, or some very small mica books. I am pretty sure that is not gold.

gold vermiculite

I think you are right guys. It looks very like this- "gold vermiculite" sold in internet for $40 per ton :)
