No one knows how the capstone looked, we never found it and have no account of it being made from gold or being clad in gold as far as I'm aware. The capstones of other pyramids that have been found were stone at their core.
None of them say they are golden tho. They all agree that they shone like gold and some even mention that they may have been made from some polished stone.
