Fordite Specimen Piece, Polished Fordite Gift For Him, Automotive Enthusiast, Mineral Collection unisex earrings The ear wires and jump

The ear wires and jump rings for this set are surgical steel so they will not turn or tarnish

The stone is about 9 mm wide and is cut from a laker we found ourselves in northern Wisconsin

There are many different fordite types and some are more valuable than others

So much so that it looks like it absorbs light

These are great for those who love natural stones but desire something a bit more subdued than say lake superior agates or jaspers

Fordite Specimen Piece, Polished Fordite Gift For Him, Automotive Enthusiast, Mineral Collection unisex earrings The ear wires and jumpThis polished piece of fordite would make a great gift for any collector of rare or unusual things. This piece originated in Michigan at a plant that paints parts for new pick up trucks and SUV's. I liked the animal like shape that it has so I decided to polish it as is rather than cutting it up for jewelry. You can see both patterns and the layering in this piece. It measures about 2. 54 x 1. 52 x 1. 14 in inches. Fordite is recycled automotive paint
