Otherwise known as Pyrite.
"Compared to actual gold, Pyrite will flake, powder, or crumble when poked with a metal point, whereas gold will gouge or indent like soft lead. In addition, actual gold will leave a golden yellow streak when scraped on a piece of unglazed porcelain; Pyrite will leave a dark green to black streak."
Pyrite measures 3/4"; entire image= 1 1/4"
Nikon 18-55mm @ 55mm with 36mm extension tube.
