Types of Fake Gold

Fake gold comes in several forms. The most common--and the hardest to detect--are when another heavy metal is plated with 24-carat gold. This makes it appear that the entire piece of metal is pure gold, when actually only a thin skin on the surface is truly the precious metal. Iron pyrite, or fool's gold, is a common stone that many people used to think was gold during the days of the Gold Rush. However, it is far too hard and light to actually be gold, and almost everyone knows the difference today. People have also been fooled by highly polished copper pyrite or bismutite, both of which have a bright, yellowish sheen in some lights.
