Description
Own a true piece of American automotive history with this authentic Fordite, also known as Detroit Motor City Agate.
Fordite is not a natural crystal—it is a rare and fascinating byproduct of the automotive industry. Formed from layers of hardened automotive paint overspray in factories like those in Detroit during the golden age of car manufacturing, Fordite was baked repeatedly in paint ovens, creating vibrant, banded layers that resemble agate. Once discovered, these colorful layers are cut and polished to reveal stunning, one-of-a-kind patterns.
This polished Fordite piece weighs 9 grams and measures approximately 3 inches long, 1.25 inches wide, and 0.25 inches thick, making it a perfect pocket stone, display piece, or unique addition to any collection.
