What type of rock is it in so l find the specific gravity to know how much gold is in it.

I wouldn't bother doing a specific gravity test on that, if it was quartz it would be easy, but you can see it's mostly gold anyway, the rock is iron sedimentary with small quartz inclusions, a clean up in hydrochloric acid will dissolve that and it will leave a soft grey coating which will easily come away with a wooden tooth pick and light scrub with a tooth brush.
Very nice piece you should be happy with that
