is this gold?

Is this pic actually gold? What are the green things?

its hard to tell from a grainy picture. what material is it? what did you start with? what did you do to get where you are now?

It looks like Iron Oxide in the bottom of a mason jar.Or maybe cemented copper.

I started with half pound of cpu's then added muriatic acid. then precipitate that, then washed what i got from that. what you see it the pic is what's left.

if you used just muriatic acid then you didnt precipitate gold because you cant dissolve gold with just muriatic acid. what did you precipitate with?

There may be some gold in that. Most of it is just junk. From half a pound of green cpu you cant expect much of gold. Probably half of gram. Your approach to treat this type of material was wrong. You can find details here:
