See the colour difference between genuine guaranteed gold in this sample and yours - of course the camera can make it look different but gold should be the same colour as the single sample here.
Now in the photo with the three samples the bottom right sample is studded with real gold while the other two have Arsenopyrite, iron pyrite and copper pyrite in them. The gold in the bottom right hand specimen is Golden Progress, Central Otago, NZ but it also has copper pyrites in it at the top left hand side. You can easily see the difference between the gold and the pyrites. If scratched the gold will gouge, and deform but will not break, fracture or fragment, colours, particles or pieces off while all the pyrites will. The pyrites are all yellow or light green and even gray but not ‘that’ gold colour.
