I have no idea ,, but it sure looks like it has a mixture of minerals in it ..
What is it

Definitely see copper.
Silver lead and gold are known to come in with copper.
Have it scanned at a pawnshop.
Or acid tests on each mineral in the stone.
Purty one.
Hate to crush that one just to find the gold.
Some universities do spectral scans.
Though keep your mouth shut if it has friends laying around.
Especially if it's rich in precious metals.
The geology department will want to know where you found it.
Give em a location 11 miles away.
I ran into that problem having a native hand tool verified decades ago.
Next thing I know the whole area was off limits as to a historical native site.

Crush it to powder if you want the gold.
What. Maybe a gram.
3% of total weight. Total weight ?
Though it's kinda purty.
Could just polish it or slab and polish.
People will buy anything.

Another thing.
There may be more where that came from.
Possibly with much more precious metals.
This could have come from a lower grade area of the original vein.
Never know.

It would surely warrant spending some time at that location...

Get it scanned too
Mark the richest locations to cut and slab.
Unless there's areas of solid gold.
