The main picture is enlarged to show detail. See the other pictures for scale and below for detailed measurements. This cabochon is made from freightliner fordite from Ohio. It has some nice colors in a white base. This is a top domed oval (pendant sized) with a flat back and has good thickness. All sides are polished. This cab measures: .92 H x .66 W x .24 Thickness in inches or 23 x 17 x 6 mm. Fordite is recycled automotive paint sourced from automotive factories as well as manufacturers who paint parts for new vehicles. It forms in thin layers as car parts are painted on the racks that hold them in place. After hundreds of trips through the booth where the paint is sprayed and then baked the excess buildup is scraped off the racks. We buy this waste paint in rough chunks and recycle it into beautiful jewelry. It can take hundreds of layers of paint to make a one inch thick piece of fordite. The original fordite came from Detroit and since then it’s also synonymously known as Detroit Agate. There is very little fordite that is truly vintage. Most that’s available is modern i.e. current or within the past 15 years. We prefer modern fordite as it’s water rather than lead based paint. There are many different fordite types and some are more valuable than others. You’ll find in our fordite listings we refer to the plant location that the fordite originated from rather than listing specific auto manufacturers or vehicles.You can easily google the plant location and get a list of vehicles painted there or just ask us. We love to talk fordite so if you are looking for a specific type or color odds are we have it, please send us a message. All of our fordite is authentic.

Textiles Finland's Neste, Borealis & Covestro turn tires into auto plastics 13 Jun '24 17 min read (L-R) Jeroen Verhoeven (Neste), Thomas Van De Velde (Borealis), Guido Naberfeld (Covestro) aim to make new car parts from discarded tires. Pic: Covestro Insights Neste, Borealis, and Covestro have partnered to recycle discarded tires into high-quality plastics for automotive use. Tires are chemically recycled into raw materials, processed into polycarbonates, and used in car parts like headlamps and radiator grilles. This collaboration exemplifies value chain cooperation and aims to influence future EU regulations.

The collaboration aims at driving circularity in plastics value chains and the automotive industry. When no longer fit for use, tires are liquefied by means of chemical recycling and then processed into base chemicals and further into polycarbonates of high purity. These can then be used in various automotive applications, from parts of headlamps to radiator grilles.Neste, Borealis, and Covestro have partnered to recycle discarded tires into high-quality plastics for automotive use. Tires are chemically recycled into raw materials, processed into polycarbonates, and used in car parts like headlamps and radiator grilles. This collaboration exemplifies value chain cooperation and aims to influence future EU regulations. “Circularity requires cooperation, and this cooperation with our partners Neste and Borealis is testament to the possibilities at our disposal,” says Guido Naberfeld, senior vice president, head of sales and market development mobility at Covestro. “We are creating options to turn discarded materials from cars into new car parts again. With that, we are supporting our automotive customers and addressing an increasingly prominent question discussed across the value chain: How to match high-performance materials with recycled content? Projects like this can be the answer.” As part of the collaboration, Neste turns liquefied discarded tires into a high-quality raw material for polymers and chemicals manufacturing and supplies it to Borealis. Borealis will then process the Neste-produced raw material into base chemicals phenol and acetone, which are supplied to Covestro. Covestro can use these materials to make polycarbonates. The share of recycled content is attributed via the mass balancing approach all the way to the final products using ISCC Plus certification. The first products based on the collaboration are already available as each party has manufactured the first batch of their respective contribution to the project. Aside from polycarbonates, the project partners may also consider polyurethanes as a possible end product, which could also find its way into parts of the interior of a car. The companies emphasize that the potential to scale-up these types of developments should be considered when setting ambitious targets for future EU regulations, such as the End-of-Life Vehicles Regulation. “We are demonstrating the importance of value chain cooperation to give new value to waste,” says Thomas Van De Velde, senior vice president Base Chemicals at Borealis. “We are proud that Borealis, in collaboration with Neste, is able to play a role in this project, providing more sustainable solutions for polymer applications for Covestro and its customers.” “This project can serve as a blueprint when it comes to establishing circularity in the field of plastics in cars,” says Jeroen Verhoeven, vice president Value Chain Development for polymers and chemicals at Neste. “It shows how low-quality waste materials can be turned into very high-quality plastics. This is good news for the polymers and automotive industries as well as for the environment.” The collaboration will be presented during the PIAE in Mannheim, Germany on June 19-20, 2024.

This beautiful image of a poolhouse was recently featured on a couple of different blogs. Isn't it just gorgeous? The building is technically a conservatory, which is a structure made of glass and wood or metal. Conservatories were first popular with the English at the start of the 19th century. Although originally used for greenhouses, as their popularity grew, so did their functions. Social settings for teas heralded the change from the purely horticulture to the residential. Today, conservatories serve as extra sunrooms for the upperclass, as the price for one of these structures can cost upwards of $50,000. Still more popular overseas, America is slowly warming up to these wonderfully versatile glass structures. Another structure that is very similar to the conservatory is the orangery. First used to grow citrus fruits, the orangery is now virtually identical to the conservatory except for one feature: whereas the conservatory is made out of metal or wood and glass, the orangery is made out of brick and glass. In America, most companies don't distinguish between an orangery and a conservatory, rather they use the two terms interchangeably. These glass structures can be contemporary in design, but most are either Victorian or Edwardian. There are some that are Georgian, but since that style predates the beginnings of the conservatory, the Georgian styled structures are purely interpretive. Because the structure is mainly glass, where it is placed on the property is important depending upon the climate. For instance, a home located where there is a hot southern sun would place the conservatory facing north. Whereas in a cool, northern locale, it would be positioned facing either west or south. This proper placement is essential for comfort while inside the structure. Today, mostly, the conservatories are used as either casual dining rooms or family rooms. And, since there is a certain romance attached to these structures, they make perfect rooms to use at night with candlelight. A typical conservatory in the English countryside. Attached to the main house, this conservatory is used for casual dining. A beautiful Victorian styled conservatory. This conservatory has a distinctive lantern, or skylight. The inside of the above conservatory: a combination living and dining room. Conservatories are beautiful when lit at night by candlelight. The interior of the candle lit conservatory above.

This diminutive orangery acts a bridge between the main house and an addition. The garden room interior of a structure. A fancy pool house with a conservatory facade. An Anglo-Indian inspired interior, ready for the hot sun with it's drawn ceiling shades. Many conservatories are furnished with large, elaborate lighting fixtures, such as this one. A large crystal chandalier for this conservatory. The stone on this orangery matches the main house, making it seem less of an addition. Again, matching stone lends an air of permanence to this structure. At dusk, this looks particularly inviting. Casual, garden room interior. The stone fireplace becomes the focal point. Dining room in the country. Absolutely beautiful!!! Perhaps the most well known conservatory played an integral part in one of the most famous movies ever: The Sound of Music. Remember the scene where the oldest daughter is dancing with her boyfriend? And later, Maria and the Captain share a dance too. The small, round conservatory is still standing and is a huge visitor's stop in Austria. The actual Sound of Music conservatory. On a college tour of Europe, I actually saw this too!
