Any flakeyness to the material left by the streak? Mica is what I'm suspecting for the metalic color and a white streak would be correct as that rules out pyrite or gold. Other than that it looks like its mostly silicate. Hardness?

No flakeyness on plate but another streak test to be sure and there's like a brownish color with the white.On one side of it there's gold color through out rock.will send better photo of it
