Rock with Gold in it?

[cooperdrummond]

Hi all, going through some of the rock finds I had stashed away...this one was particularly interesting and I would like to know if anybody can tell what kind of rock this is and if this is gold or what other kind of metal or mineral in it? To my knowledge this is from Fort Smith, Arkansas. If anybody has any information they can provide I would love to hear it!

Not sure. Try putting this in the rocks/gem section or one of the gold mining sections. I am sure someone there can give you an answer.

Looks like chalcopyrite(copper pyrite).

Or bornite, another pyrite but I'm not seeing any blue really, but definitely a pyrite inclusion in the stone.

Yes pyrite, common there.
