Hello-

    I have been working with fordite (also known as detroitite or
    Detroit Agate) for a little while and have been asked about the
    toxicity of the product. The stuff I was asked about is said to have
    come from the River Rouge Ford Factory from late 60's or 70's. Is
    anyone else working with fordite? Does anyone know if it's toxic? How
    do you find out? I've seen it used as beads so I just never thought
    about it before. 

    I have additional fordite that I was told came from Dagenham England
    in the 70's and some more fordite that I think may be the Mexico
    stuff mentioned in an earlier post. Any help would be greatly
    appreciated. 

Thanks!
