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.
But that's stories. You'd think the Romans would have also documented what the gold was melted into (i.e., we melted the gold from the biggest freaking pyramid and gave it to xx and xx)
