Gold or pyrite or might be something else down right.

I have this rock with a quartz vein and directly underneath is a vein of a goldish material.I thought it may be pyrite but their are no cubic crystals. the rock is very heavy and I was wondering if anyone could help me identify it.

Crush some and pan it . It looks flaky to me but report back please .

I will have to go buy a pan but ok ,will do. I took the ace 250 over it and got no signal. However I did take a chunk off and revealed a metallic iridescent light blue tint underneath. I tied to crush the chunk up and some of it crumbled while some was alot harder to crush.Will let you know how it pans out.

Massive pyrite. You really don't need to crush it as what you did pry off confirms what it is. The iridescent may indicate peacock pyrite. Its unlikely you'll find much gold value in breaking it up. Nice speci though.

Thanks alot for everyone's input. Yea ddancer I don't want to cause anymore damage to it than I already have. It will go nice with the collection though .
