Shop Natural Loose Fordite Gemstone & Cabochons
One specific gem stands out as a tribute to human ingenuity and industrial history in the world of gemstones, where tales of geological wonders and natural beauty abound: fordite. Known by another name, Detroit Agate, this fascinating gem has a distinct history entwined with the legacy of the mid-20th century automobile industry.

We set out on a voyage to investigate the intriguing realm of Fordite in this introduction, learning about Fordite origin, properties, and the increasing admiration for this unusual gem that turns industrial waste into wearable artwork.
