Fordite is a strange sort of gemstone made from what unusual material?

Fordite is an upcycled modern gemstone made from the buildup of many layers of enamel car paint, which were baked many times and formed into hard chunks that were then cut and polished. The stones reveal decades of automotive history and get their name from the Ford Motor Company, where many of the stones are sourced.
