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.

What type of rocks fall off mountains?
Rocks that fall off mountains are typically loose, unconsolidated rocks such as scree or talus. These rocks can become dislodged due to factors like weathering, erosion, seismic activity, or human interference, posing a risk to hikers and climbers.
The term for dropping off sediments or rocks?
The term for dropping off sediments or rocks is deposition. This process occurs when sediment or rocks are transported by a natural agent such as water, wind, or ice, and then settle on the Earth's surface.
Can you take a fingerprint off a rock?
It is generally not possible to take a fingerprint off a rock, as rocks do not retain fingerprints like smooth surfaces do. Fingerprints are typically left on surfaces that have oils or residues for them to adhere to, which rocks lack.
The dropping off of bits of eroded rocks is called?
The dropping off of bits of eroded rocks is called deposition. This process occurs when eroded material is transported by water, wind, or ice and then settles or comes to a rest in a new location.
What tupe of physical weathering is caused when rocks scrape together causing small pieces to break off?
The physical weathering caused by rocks scraping together is known as abrasion. As rocks come into contact and rub against each other, it causes small pieces of rock to break off, leading to the gradual wearing down and smoothing of surfaces.

Does fools gold come in flakes?

How can I effectively clean leaves from rocks?
To effectively clean leaves from rocks, you can use a leaf blower, a broom, or a pressure washer. Sweep or blow the leaves off the rocks, or use a pressure washer on a low setting to wash them away. Be careful not to damage the rocks while cleaning.
What is gold called when it has broken off other rocks and is found in rivers?
Gold found in river sediment is referred to as an alluvial deposit.
How do I clean the tarnish off the gold on gold rimmed dinnerware?
Gold does not tarnish EVER! Thus if you are seeing tarnish on what you think is gold, it is not gold. Gold painted porcelain should only be washin in warm sopy water using a soft cotton cloth. The gold ornimentation will wear off in use.

How do you extract gold from ore?
Gold is formed independently from rocks so unlike iron or copper there is no 'ore' to extract it from. In general gold is acquired by finding nuggets in rocks. The gold is simply chipped off from the rock. It is extremly difficult if not impossible to extract the small traces of gold that can be found in many rocks and as far as i am aware no commercial technique for acccquiring such gold.

What is the difference between real gold and fool's gold?
Gold is an element--gold. There's only gold in it. Pyrite--fool's gold--is a compound of iron and sulfur.Gold has the chemical symbol Au, and it is heavier and softer than a lot of other metals. It is considered a "noble" metal because it does not corrode or otherwise react with other elements easily. Other materials may be similar in color such as brass or fool's gold.Fool's gold is iron pyrite, and has the chemical formula FeS2. It is a brittle solid, where gold is soft.A small piece of fool's gold will break apart into many pieces if tapped with a hammer or like object. A small goldnugget will flatten slightly but will not break apart. Real gold is soft, and the pressure of a thumbnail will make a small indentation in it. See the field test that follows.Gold has a specific gravity around 19 while fools gold (iron pyrite) has a specific gravity of 4.95 to 5.10.Fools gold is harder than gold. The hardness of Fools gold is 6 to 6.5 while gold is softer and has a hardness of 2.5 on the Moh's scale of hardness.Pyrite is slightly harder than steel and cannot be scratched with a knife while gold is much softer than steel and can easily be scratched with a knife.Pyrite emits sulfur when heated...gold does not. There are many differences between Fools Gold and Gold, that is how "fools gold" got its name.Fools gold (iron pyrite) is relatively heavy, it is about one fourth to one third as heavy as gold and about as heavy as iron. with a knife.Field TestProspectors had a pretty simple test to determine if what they had found was the real stuff or fool's gold. Real gold is extremely malleable, unlike the crystals of fool's gold. If they could put a small indentation in a piece of gold with their fingernail, it was the real thing. Interesting factoid...Gold forms in pyrite deposits. To get it out, you grind the pyrite fine. Next, heat the pyrite until the sulfur burns off. Finally, put the remaining product in water and use a magnet to separate out the iron. Now you can sell the iron for a good price, and the gold for a very good price.
