Why a SG test but no others? Given it looks like a mix of mineral I doubt it would give any useful information.

I say this a lot: Without better pictures, streak test, hardness test, and possible locality of specimen I can only go by what I see. Pyrite, quartz and iron oxidation (rust).

Still need: streak test, hardness test, and possible locality of specimen.

Streak is different colors somthimes grey .or brown n other times silverish and gold light dark green red

Some type of ore, crush a small piece of it to fine and pan it out. Atleast that's what I'd do, if nothing good is in it and it's not too crumbly I'd cut that pyrite and quartz into slabs.

Crush it even smaller and pan it out, I see a lot of pyrite and pyrite is often associated with gold, small chance but ya never know.

Streak tests, hardness tests and specific gravity tests are only for individual minerals. Those tests will tell you nothing about the rock you have.

Best guess from the blurry photos is a schist with a lot of mineralization.

You could pin it down pretty quick by giving a specific location. Heavily mineralized areas often have well documented rocks and minerals.
