They look too shiny to be gold. As well as the angular shape and the prismatic colors. They aren't gold, but they are some beautiful pyrite specimens!
It's always hard to tell in photos. But if you really want to know for sure, try and smash it with something. If it's pyrite, it will shatter inta bunch of pieces. If it's gold, it will deform, but stay together as one piece.
