Is there still any question as to why they call this "fool's gold"? Taken in sunlight. Found in the crushed rock used locally for road surfacing. Murphys, CA. If the crushed rock is "sparkling", get out of the auto... if safe to do so... and collect some of these pretty crystals. Stan and his 4 year old grandson collect this "gold". TTC
