Collection: Gogottes

Gogottes are mostly found in Fontainbleu ,France, where the most wonderful naturally occurring sculptures are found. They date from the Oligocene Period, and are 30 million years old. They are formed from quartz crystals and calcium carbonate. They are produced when superheated water extruded through crevices into a basin of extremely fine white silicate sand. The swirls and eddies of the water are then captured in the gradually concreting stone, forming the most wonderful natural sculptures.
