Gold or Pyrite?

Bought for $4 at a holistic expo.

I collect crystals and my grandma used to be a jeweler, so we both have different knowledge of the same thing: crystals and natural metals. I own some pyrite and it's more gray/brown than shiny yellow and has very geometrical shapes, while this piece in the picture is brighter colored and looks similar to real gold shown in museums. My grandmother insists this is fool's gold since it was so cheap, but I disagree.
