Anybody have an idea what is this?
 

With just those pictures we won’t be able to give a good ID, just a guess.
Take new pics of just the rock, outside in natural sunlight, on a dark non glossy surface, and dry.
Next, what part of the world did you find it in?
Can you do a hardness test on the gold colored part and also a hardness test for the white inclusions. That might be hard as they look pretty small.
I don’t see any crystal shapes. Are there any that you can see? If so try to get a closeup of them.

I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard Naiimak! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forum: Select Your Area.... and selecting location information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country). You might also consider adding your state (or country) to your displayed profile (SETTINGS -> EDIT PROFILE) - members may have more success helping you (your location may help, etc.)...

Unless you provide better pictures pyrite, chalcopyrite, bornite, covellite are all a possibility...

It would seem chalcopyrite or pyrite are options. See if a knife scratches it.

Is this from Graves Mountain, GA? If so, it may be decomposed Kyanite with Hematite and any glossy inclusions would be Rutile.
