Though modern manufacturing methods have changed, limited quantities of genuine contemporary Fordite still exist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"1320\" data-start=\"1317\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1387\" data-start=\"1322\" data-section-id=\"11by9lj\"\u003eAuthentic Michigan Fordite – Cut by a Lapidary Since the 1970s\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1756\" data-start=\"1389\"\u003eI have worked with Fordite for over four decades. My journey began in the 1970s through my local Michigan rock club, when auto industry workers salvaged hardened layers of baked factory paint from spray booths. Known variously as Fordite, Chryslerite, Buickite, and Detroit Agate, “Fordite” remains the most widely recognized name for this uniquely American material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2034\" data-start=\"1758\"\u003eEvery piece in this collection is cut from authentic automotive overspray sourced from trusted, long-standing dealers whose material I have known for years. I stand firmly behind the authenticity and provenance of every specimen, bead, pendant, earring, and cabochon I create.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2288\" data-start=\"2036\"\u003eToday, many imitations flood the market — resin blends, layered craft paints, and mass-produced composites with no true factory history.
