AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Gogottes are rare, roughly 30-million-year-old sandstone concretions from the Oligocene, found mainly near Fontainebleau in France. They consist of almost 98% silica, solidified by circulating water. Their bizarre, often cloud-like or winding shapes make them coveted as “natural sculptures” and desirable works of art.
