Few years ago I found some pyrites. Now certain pyrites have gold color. Why?

Before those pyrites had white(or silver) color. Now gold color, but only some pyrites (2_3pieces).

   Your Pyrites are changing color following Oxidation.  Pyrites are a Sulfided form of some type of metal mineral.  Iron being the primary Mineral.

Some Pyrite deposits do in fact hold a quantity of Gold.

Yes there are some Bacteria associated with Gold.  No they do not Make Gold.  They do how ever deposit Gold as a Product by product of what ever they are consuming.

It would take Billions on Billion of those bacteria to produce some noticeable production.  If your samples are showing more Gold due to Bacterial Actions the Gold was already within the sample.  The Bacteria has only made the Gold Visible.  I do not think that is the case.

   All Pyrites are not the same.  There are many varieties.
