Looks like it is real, foil gold, can you bend it with a needle, will a needle stick in it without cracking or flaking (your trying to see if it is malleable). Then if is malleable I would say yes.

You are trying to also determined if you have iron pryrite, and the fuzzy stuff gold sulfides, you could even have gold mixed in. They are all associated with each other.

I know, the gold trapped inside a mineral has different names like wire, foil, flour, etc...

 

[jtw1313]

I was thinking this is a Quartz vein with gold deposits

 

[Ant]

Yep it could be, but you need to test it.

 

[Ant]

Test to see if it is malleable.

Looks like the beginnings of a Geode. Geodes can have gold mixed in them

From the picture, your stone looks like a thunder egg half. If so, then the yellow is agate or a form of chalcedony, not gold.
