Gogotte Formation, Oligocene, approx. 30 million years ago Jewelry - Beads with possession of this amuletA gogotte is a millions of years old, naturally shaped sandstone concretion, consisting of tiny quartz fragments held together by calcium carbonate. The finest specimens are found in Fontainebleau, France, renowned for its extremely fine grained, porcelain like sands. Each one of these natural mineralogical works of art takes on a unique form, often evoking clouds, whirlwinds, animals, or ghosts. Gogottes were a great inspiration to the Surrealists,
