Two methods to tell real gold from fools gold are:Rub the piece of gold against a piece of unglazed ceramic material. If it is real, it will leave a golden mark while fools gold will leave a black mark.Apply nitric acid to the gold. If it dissolves, then it is obviously fake, as real gold cannot be dissolved in nitric acid.
Fake gold, or "fools gold" has a foul sulfur odor while real gold does not. Usually, you can rub the gold and sniff it to determine if it is real or fake.
Fools gold (Iron Pyrites) is crystaline in form and looks jagged, wheras real gold does not form crystals, in natural form it has a realtively lumpy appearance.
You can tell if a ring is real gold or not by putting it near a magnet. If the ring is attracted to the magnet it is not real gold, real gold is not magnetic at all.

With magnets.
We tell real gold by its weight.
Fools gold will float. Gold will break if you hit it against a rock.

no
Iron pyrites is commonly called "fools gold" since it is often mistaken for gold by people who do not know how to tell the difference.
the mineral that is called fools gold is phyrite because it looks just like gold. some people might think that phyrite is gold but it's not. phyrite is common than gold which would make it less valuable. if you want to tell whether the mineral is phyrite or gold found out how the streak of gold and phyrite is
