Perfect for the Guitarist in your life! Kenworth Truck Mfg. company Fordite guitar pick pendant hung on 18”ball chain.Fordite, also called Motor Agate or Detroit Agate, is an entirely man made jewel created by scraping layers of the enamel paint slag that had been dripped into pools onto the metal tracks during the “old days” when Ford and other assembly line cars were spray painted by people, not robots. The pooled paint, the result of the runoff from excess paint dripping off the cars during the baking process, became solid as some rock formations.Eventually, after several bakings, the layers of paint had to be cleaned out. It was scraped off the area, creating big slabs with several stratum of paint. These slabs, it turned out, could be polished and tumbled like raw natural stones into beautiful designs.Introduction of overspray vacuums in the 90’s that removes the paint mist before it can settle, or be breathed in makes Fordite an increasingly rare, man made mineral.
