Good morning, I found rocks that have quartz crystals, and inside the rocks are very small square crystals. Are these pyrite crystals and is there a possibility of gold ore in these rocks or not?

I have found a lot of these, pyrite yes, you can polish them up to bring out it's true color.

That trigon is cool!

Looks like some cubic crystal either coated, replaced ie. pseudomorph. Or could be oxidized pyrite turned to hematite with gold, ya just never know for sure.
