Fordite Silver Tone Cross Cabochon, Necklace, Pendant, Religious Gift

Stunning Fordite silver cross on a complimentary silver chain. Fordite center measures 12mm x 10mm. Cross measures 61mm tall x 42 mm wide. Pictured with a dime for scale. Center is one of a kind original, made from layers of Chevy Bel Air 50's paint. Cabochon is sealed under a permanent glass dome, surrounded with setting of silver. WHAT IS FORDITE? Genuine Fordite comes from automobile paint booths in factories and holds the historical record of the cars that were assembled there on the production line. The overspray from painting collects on the metal racks that hold up the car or car parts and every few months it has to be chiseled off so production can continue. When the overspray is removed, the Fordite contains the paint record of every car, make and model that has passed through the production line. It has the hardness of a sedimentary rock and can be cut and shaped with lapidary tools. This is the raw material that I use to create the cabochons, jewelry, and display pieces found in my shop.
