Note:

This material, also known as Motor City Agate, is a unique material formed from the buildup of layers of automotive paint in old car factories. It is very collectible by non-purist rock collectors and is often used for cabbing rings and pendants. It can be somewhat pricy, so acquiring a small piece for cheap is great find.
