Could anyone possibly give me a hand with identifying this mineral  it's non magnetic has gold in it and is quite heavy for the size. This one piece weighs 2.094 oz

It looks like galena with pyrite (the brassy coloured crystals).

Fully agree with Nick.

The brassy coloured crystals could be gold ................... fool's gold.:>}
