Fordite (sixties psychedelic)
Sold Out
Fordite, Detroit, USA
Fordite is ridiculously hard to come by. Several customers have asked for it (repeatedly) over the years and we have managed to find a limited source. It's first come, first served with these samples, though there is a little more on its way.
Fordite is sometimes also called "Detroit Agate". It is not a rock at all, but formed as by -product of industrial paint spraying. These samples were collected from a Detroit automobile factory and date from the 1970s. The samples have been cut and polished to bring out the layers and the vibrant colours. They are a bit of a tactile treat as well; glorious to hold in one's hand.
