LARGE Canary Yellow SPECIMEN.

Almost gone only a few PC\'s left.

From my private Canadian Daimler Chrysler Cabochon specimen collection.

This is NOT Fordite from a Ford plant.

Up for your consideration is one nice large very rarely seen slab.
Commonly known as Fordite due to the first seller getting his supply from a Ford automotive

plant. This specimen is From a Canadian automotive plant from the 90\'s when more vibrant

colours were available. This is not from the 60\'s or 70\'s.

This is build up of paint layers sprayed by hand, not robotics and cured in high temp radiant

heat ovens. Solid as a rock and getting rare to find due to robotics painting now a days.

This piece measures in cm but I have convert it for you.

Note: although the photos don\'t do this piece justice, this specimen has not been sprayed

with water to enhance the photo. This is the actual clear coat shining making it difficult

to show the quality due to the glare.

One rough cut slab Paint Agate\" from Canada This piece will cut a top quality cab.

Would also make a great display specimen! This material is not an agate. It\'s a bi-

product of painting automobiles at a Canadian Automotive Plant in the 1990\'s. Layer

after layer of paint would collect on the racks after each automobile was painted. Each

layer was baked on the rack and hardened. This process was repeated over and over

again creating banded and eye formations in the paint globs that resemble the pattern

in fine agates. This material has since become very popular for jewelry and has great

lapidary and historic interest. It is a softer material but will cut and polish, similar to

cutting turquoise. The paints displayed in this slab are true 1990\'s era colours cut from true

1990\'s era rough. Like an exhausted mineral deposit, all that is on the market is all there

ever will be, ensuring a collectible future for this material.

Shown as you will receive it, you get the exact piece pictured. This was lightly

sanded down to show the eye\'s and banding along with visible detail within the layers

and had the Automotive clear coat applied when this left the plant.

Due to its thickness and size it is very workable and could make various piece\'s.

I ship within 3 business days. But usually it\'s the day following payment. Please let me

know if you have any questions. Thanks for looking and good luck! Have a great week.
