Found this at my grandmother's house after her passing recently, and I have no idea what it is. It was with a bunch of misc. foreign coins that I believe were my grandfather's (he was in WWII.)

Anyone know? Or am I better off going to a jeweler to figure out what this stuff is?

Thanks,

Jesse

It's about impossible to tell from a picture, but it looks too brown and too crystalized to be gold.
Any jeweler could tell you in a second.

Yea, I figured a picture wouldn't be a very large help, but I figured it was worth a shot before heading out to a jeweler.

Thanks, guys :)
 
Well real gold in the raw will be in shavings or still be intact. If its still intact it will be a thin layer over a quartz like stone. It does appear yellow in the raw. However sheen will vary depending on the location it was found.

A lady who knows about gold? WTF
 
Bugger.
The other test is to bite down on it, say "Aerrgh", nod your and wink. That means it's gold.

Try not to "Aerrgh" too loudly, or it upsets the parrot.
