What is Gote de Aceite?

[boerumbiddy]

I came across this term in the description of a long-sold vintage emerald ring from Lang Antiques in their archives.
Here is a link to the piece.

Maybe it is a misspelling of the term? It looks like a pretty nice stone but I have no idea what I am supposed to be looking at. Will try to upload a picture directly as well.

Wow, how cool.
Thanks for the link Chrono.

Thanks, Chrono, perfectly fascinating account. Too bad the Lang people spelled "gota" wrong.

That's fascinating. Thanks, Chrono, for the link, & BRB for asking.

I should really post this $33,750 stunner from Lang Antiques under "someone should buy this stone," but I think it may also exhibit the gota de aceite phenomenon:
