Fordite

Had to post this as I learned something new today. Jewellery made out of "Fordite" at the town's farmers' market. Fordite = not a stone, but chunks of layered automotive paint that dries and hardens in the factory as they paint the vehicle bodies. Then chunks of it are scraped off and are used by artists to make jewellery. Also known as "Detroit Agate" or "Motor Agate"!!!!!!
Thank you for visiting!
