Swirling Flame Solid Fordite Cabochon, k nown locally as Detroit Agate. Not an agate at all though, just a happy accident! The original Fordite was created many years ago at the Ford Rouge Plant just outside of Detroit, Michigan. Layer by layer, paint over-spray built up on the metal racks that transported car bodies through the paint shop, and into the ovens where each coat was baked hard. Some sharp eyed workers saw the potential for this colorful material and harvested and hoarded what they could. Occasionally we run across an old auto worker who saved a bit of rough. 46 x 36 x 4mm Solid Fordite / No Resin Our Detroit Fordite cabochons are always 100% Fordite Thanks for stopping by, suzybones $2.99 Shipping Worldwide for as many cabs as you wish Need a Pendant?
