    Hello all! Long time no see! Can anyone identify this rock? It's very heavy (6.2) ounces) 2.5 x 2.5 x 7/8 inches, it is not magnetic. Looks like a bluish granite on bottom, lot's of gold chunks on it and all the way through in layers. (see side pics). Thanks!

      It's NOT mica! I can't be flaked off. The gold bits are very solid.

      Hi Celiene, Also went by the rather humorous name of "Fools Gold" :)
