Maraposite, I bought two slabs with the most visible  gold in them, I should of bought all he had with the gold.
I was having trouble with getting pictures with all the gold specs so I posted two pics of the same stone top get a lot of the gold to show up. Sorry I wish I could of got better pics.
Yes it is real gold, they used to mine and crush it for the gold - Maraposa California

I am inclined to believe what people tell me. Gold in a $7.00 slab? So last night it started bugging me and I got a pick and a loupe and poked and scratched at a piece of the gold in the slab. Gold is mailable and can be moved and scratched. Well it is very pretty gold cored pryrite!  :dontknow:

Yes but I am a slow learner. I bought jade one time that ended up being serpentine.  I now check the hardness and can recognize the appearance better
