hit it with a hammer: if it shatters its fools gold, if it flattens it is probably gold.

I'm a bit more puzzled about how you get fools' gold ontorocks. Fools' gold is a type of rock... iron (II) sulfide, or iron pyrite. It's hard, brittle, and not something that could easily get smeared onto some other rock.If you somehow did manage it, it's relatively easily oxidized to the sulfate, which is soluble in water.
Gold is an elemental metallic mineral, and therefore is not a rock as described in the metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous rock cycle.
it is found in a rock
the mineral of the half gold rock is the aluminium it makes the rock have its shine in the inside and then it spreads out in the outside yep that is all...:-D
Fools gold is known as iron pyrite
Its another name for fools gold
fools gold (Iron pyrite)
Fools gold will float. Gold will break if you hit it against a rock.
They would smash it with a rock.

There isn't much for examples of fools gold in everyday items that you have in your house. About the only thing i can think of besides looking at a piece of fools gold in pictures on the internet or at a local rock shop or museum would be to crumple some tinfoil up and color it a dark gold. Where you see the small, almost square patterns in the tinfoil is a bit like fools gold. Iron Pyrite, this minerals metalic luster and pale brass-yellow hue have earned it the the nickname "fools gold" because of its resemblance to gold.
Pyrite (fools gold) is usually found in Quartz veins, Sedimentary rock, and Metamorphic rock,as well as in coal beds. I once found a vein of pyrite in slate.

Fool's gold is the mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite. Pyrite is sometimes called Fools Gold because of its similarity in color and shape to Gold. The last thing you want is to be considered a fool the next time you go gold-panning. Pyrite is the most common of the sulfide minerals which is an iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS2. Sometimes real gold is embedded in pyrite formations but this mineral is usually found associated with other sulfides or oxides in quartz veins, sedimentary rock, and metamorphic rock, as well as in coal beds and as a replacement mineral in fossils.
it isnt...
