It is the over spray that gets on the steel racks as car parts are painted on the assembly line. Several hundred of layers are each baked into a material hard enough to cab. The racks need to be cleaned off so the material gets busted off and sold (by the gram at $1 per gram) In my link above with my cabs the cabs are resting on the rough material Chuck Thanks Chuck. Very interesting. Pretty expensive considering there are 31 grams in a troy ounce. Hardnesswise, what does it compare to? Dave A different animal then rocks. pretty soft when it hits a diamond wheel for cabbing but does not disappear in 46/70 when tumbling. Chuck

Glad this one popped back up, I missed it. Super variety of material and that super shine. Gotta love a batch with Fordite. Nice back light action too. Thanks for sharing.
