Can anyone help me identify this stone?

I actually can’t remember where I obtained it! There’s a chance I picked it up off of the ground on a camping trip here in Australia haha.. but there’s also a chance I picked it up from a store or at a crystal fair. I keep circling back to Ocean Jasper, but I’m not sure.

Thanks xox

I can't load the image. Can you re-check?

Ah thanks for pointing that out BigJohn. I’ve updated the link in my original post, hopefully that works?

I can not tell.

I would say it is Quartz with some Sulfur and Copper bearing minerals.

Just to let you know I saw some Australian crystal documentaries. Seeing the picture it looks like the bright yellow metal could be gold, but the dark yellow is pyrite or fools gold. A lot of pyrites are mixed with quartz in Australia so it's not new. Bring the stone to a jeweller to verify the bright yellow metal if it is gold. Good luck.
