However, because these processes have become much more efficient since then, overspray no longer occurs, and supplies of both rough and refined material are extremely limited, making Fordite valuable to collectors and earning it the title of “one of the rarest ‘gemstones’ in the world.”</i> +1 This visually stunning collection features a relatively unknown recycled material—Fordite—also known as “Detroit Agate” and “Motor City Agate.” Fordite is the result of accumulated layers of vibrant enamel overspray from 70s era automotive painting processes.
