Fordite Keychain, Large Palm Stone Size, Ohio Motor Agate

These three key chains are made with different types of fordite and are larger options vs our shaped stones in stainless steel that I offer. 

Key chain 1: This key chain is made with fordite from Ohio that occurred as a result of painting parts for big rig freight liners. It's sort of oval shaped and has great colors and patterns. It measures about: 1.97 x .93 in inches.

Key chain 2: This keychain is made with fordite from the plant at Parkway in Toledo Ohio i.e. wranglerite-fordite. This is fro a very bubbly piece which gives it great patterns. I stabilized this piece with blue resin in places. This one measures about: 1.82 x .97 in inches.

Key chain 3: This keychain is made with Michigan sourced fordite from a plant in lower Michigan that paints parts for new trucks and SUV's. This piece has some nice grooves in it and great patterns. This fordite type is known for lots of metal flake within the paint which gives it a nice shimmer in sunlight. 

Fordite is recycled automotive paint sourced from automotive factories as well as manufacturers who paint parts for new vehicles. It forms in thin layers as car parts are painted on the racks that hold them in place. After hundreds of trips through the booth where the paint is sprayed and then baked the excess buildup is scraped off the racks. We buy this waste paint in rough chunks and recycle it into beautiful jewelry. It can take hundreds of layers of paint to make a one inch thick piece of fordite. The original fordite came from Detroit and since then it’s also synonymously known as Detroit Agate. There is very little fordite that is truly vintage. Most that’s available is modern i.e. current or within the past 15 years. We prefer modern fordite as it’s water rather than lead based paint. There are many different fordite types and some are more valuable than others. You’ll find in our fordite listings we refer to the plant location that the fordite originated from rather than listing specific auto manufacturers or vehicles.You can easily google the plant location and get a list of vehicles painted there. We love to talk fordite so if you are looking for a specific type or color odds are we have it so please send us a message. All of our fordite is authentic.
