- Origin: Fontainebleau, France
- Age: Oligocene, 30 million years ago
- Size: H50cm W60cm D32cm
- Description: 30-million-year-old Gogotte from the Oligocene epoch. The spectacular undulating lines, the natural cavity in the center, and the exceptionally preserved structure make it an absolutely unique decorative natural art object.
- Additional Information: Gogottes are among the most extraordinary objects created by nature: they serve as a source of inspiration for artists and can be found in the largest private collections and museums. From a geological perspective, a gogotte is a sandstone concretion with siliceous cement. It consists of sand grains cemented by silica, which was deposited by water within the sand layer. Chemically, a gogotte is almost entirely composed of silicon dioxide and thus has more or less the same composition as a quartz crystal.
