Fordite: a rare mineral only found in old Detroit auto-painting facilities

Fordite

"Fordite" is an anthropocenic mineral "formed from the built up of layers of enamel paint slag on tracks and skids on which cars were hand spray-painted (a now automated process), which have been baked numerous times. In recent times the material has been recycled as eco-friendly jewelry."(via JWZ)
