Fool's gold is iron pyrite. Iron pyrite is iron sulfide. Gold is many times associated with the sulfides. It is very possible your rock has both pyriite and gold. Some of the gold may be free milling or most likely bound in the pyrite. Gravity methods of recovery will not be suitible for the gold that is locked up in the pyrite. TTC
 

bought this with small NC emeralds for 13 dollars
