Here's something I'd never heard of. "Corvette Fordite", an agate-like "gemstone" cut from the gobs of dried acrylic paint from old Detroit assembly lines. They're not making any more of the stuff because they've developed more efficient painting systems. www.rockngem.com/fordite/

Once a byproduct of car factories, Fordite is a prized, man-made gemstone with vivid color and history. No two pieces are the same. Each is a happy accident.
