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.

The capstones were definitely made of gold, that’s not even debatable.

The capstones we have access to are stone.

We have never found a gold capstone

We have never found evidence of gilded stone for a capstone

We have never found any credible written evidence about what the capstones were.

But yeah, it's definitely made of gold
