No idea what this is. He hopes it's gold, I just hope it's not asbestos

Behind the ceiling sheetrock actually. That looks more like asbestos in your photo from the Libbey mines. I only say that cuz I found the exact same thing in my house when I was doing construction, and this sub told me that it was asbestos

If it's heavy I'd have some one take a look at it. I have silver casting grain that looks like that in my studio. You should be able to tell if it's metal, gold has weight to it. You wouldn't think small bits would weigh much but it does. Casting grains look just like wax drops
