Good video Taylor!! There is natural turquoise that is as blue as the composite you cut. It’s called lander turquoise. Keep them coming. I never get tired of watching.😎
@@AgateDad I have some Sleeping Beauty Turquoise paid an are and a leg for... Have you ever heard of Mookite? It's from Australia. When I and If I can go to the rock and gem show this year in Michigan I will pick you up a slab! It's beautiful with Dendrites! Comes in many colors from purple, tan, pink, red and a dark mustard color. Comes from the Mookite River. Check it out!
Love Fordite. I have corvite Fordite cab. I like the history of Fordite. All the different layers of auto paint is neat. Just to think it's a thing of the past now. Nice job on your Fordite!
That looked like a whole bunch of fun! I would love to go in there and spend tons of money lol. Now, I just need to find the tons of money. Great video!
What a rock lover’s playground! I had never heard of fordite before until I saw your Instagram post. So I’ve been looking at ways to get some rough and what’s interesting is that while there’s plenty for sale, people don’t seem too forthcoming about how they got it. I guess you have to Know A Guy?
Yep! There’s a fair amount on the market that’s collected from run down/abandoned factories, so not the most legal ways of acquiring, so yep, everyone “knows a guy”. I’ve got a chunk from the corvette factory. Too scared to do anything to it!
It looked like there were metallic layers in that Fordite, gotta love the 1950's & 60's popular car colors. Seeing as it's paint wouldn't putting a clear coat on it be appropriate? Fun day in Candyland for sure.
The rockhounds amusement park, how fun...glad you had a good time showing us all the cool toys...that angle cab is now on my wish-list. Another great informative and fun video.
Beautiful stones and equipment. Of course at home you would wear safety equipment. Or did you remove your goggles, ear protection, and apron just for the photos?
Hi Taylor, that was an interesting video of some of the equipment available and how well it works. ThAt is a great way to trial equipment. So which have you put your order in for. 😂😂 or have you made a priority list. I think I might be psychic as I I can see a small loan in your future. 😜 Keep Safe & Keep Rockin
That's awesome. That's a rockhounders dreamland. Can't wait to see more about all the equipment.
It's fitting that Fordite is sometimes called Detroit Agate or Motor City Agate. 🤪
Looks like you had so much fun.
So much to play with.
GOD BLESS AGATE DAD

That turquoise came out amazing! I had no idea you could use the dust from it to make a composite! Thank you!
I learned about it too that day!

@@GeodeCrackerCollector is this where you succumb to peer pressure?😂
I bought mine off a Etsy store. You can get cabs or a slab of it to work yourself

I love that turquoise cabochon. That's beautiful. 😁❤️❤️
Great video I took love green colored rocks especially turquoise.

Yeah the slant lap was extremely impressive!
Wow you’ve become such a pro, congratulations💖🙏💯
Definitely not a pro 😂 maybe someday
I'm from Detroit, but never heard of Fordite. Now I want some.
What is fordite?? So beautiful thanks for taking us along!!
Fordite is paint 🎨 usually from auto factories (car paint buildup)
Really enjoyed this video
Did you get to take the pieces you worked home?
I did ❤️
You get to do all the fun stuff, while I am getting paid for watching you lol!
Wow, fun. The second green does it look like some copper? Not sure...
Lucky you. Can anyone get a tour like you?
You’d have to ask them, I have no idea
This was an awesome video! My dad actually works there!!
Get out of here! Awesome!
Where do you find Fordite?
I was told this was from crystler
It’s from the car painting area of the factory. Layers that built up over decades the people harvest it.
It’s rare and limited.
Some dealers at rock shows have it for sale, it can get expensive....
It's fun to work with...
Love this!!! Can we buy any of it? Lol. ❤❤❤
I love Fordite aka Detroit agate.
Wow
What is the composite material?
Not sure tbh
Fordite? That is layers of paint from the Detroit Ford plant.
I'd never heard of fordite before, it is so cool! I mean how does that even happen?
So it's layers of paint? How weird. Very cool.
Beautiful stones and equipment. Of course at home you would wear safety equipment. Or did you remove your goggles, ear protection, and apron just for the photos?

Keep Safe & Keep Rockin
Did you think it was as big as it was!? I swear it’s like the tardis up in there!
I couldn’t believe how far back it went! It was so cool!
💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙
♥️💥👍👍👍👍
The blue stone looks like ocean picture stone.
The one that looks like a face. Check out Dan Hurd, he has the last ocean picture stone claim.
Do you sell online cabochons?
👍👏❤️
Hello,,,, New friend and subscriber from Samar Philippines sending my support Sir,,,

When I use the UA-cam translator, "cabking" became "the King of the cab"... and I rotfl

That’s awesome 🤣
Face or a butterfly
Shame on you, @ 5:31, you're grinding fordite with NO MASK OR EYE PROTECTION.
Shame on me? Really? Lighten up.
🤘👍
Love, love, love Fordite. Especially the story behind it. I have a couple of really nice pieces of it.
