Fordite Cabochon - Bead

Perfect for collectors, auto enthusiasts, history buffs, shop owners, and jewelry makers, the beads of Great Lakes Lapidary are beautiful, hand made pieces of art recycled from various manufacturing practices.

Each bead collection is pictured next to a 1" stone to visually indicate the approximate size of the beads.

These beads can easily become pendants, earrings, or charms for keychains and other items. You will receive one bead from this specific string. These beads are considered part of the 'medium' collection.

Fordite is a by-product of the manufacturing/painting process and can be collected from many places including automobile manufacturers, surfboard paint facilities, and ship maintenance yards. These fordite cabochons were created with Jeep fordite harvested from the Jeep facility in  Toledo Ohio.
