"Fordite, also known as Detroit agate or Motor Agate, is old automobile paint which has hardened sufficiently to be cut and polished. It was formed from the buildup of layers of enamel paint slag on tracks and skids on which cars were hand spray-painted (a now automated process), which have been baked numerous times. In recent times the material has been upcycled into eco-friendly jewelry."
I got someone to make my parents a matching necklace pendant and pocketknife out of a chunk of it. It was taken from the same ford plant that made the thunderbird they had when they were first married.

So pretty. I thought it was raspberries with a marble icing cut like a cake. I guess my hungry is leaking.
