Axel,

It can be expensive, especially if it is a nice pattern or is properly
shaped for jewelry. However, what might interest you, Axel, is that some of
it is fluorescent. If you look on the Fluorescent Minerals facebook group,
there is a post showing some really cool fluorescent fordite.

Unfortunately, not all of it is fluorescent. I talked with one vendor from
Michigan that also collects Yooperlites and therefore has some good LW
lights, and none of his fordite fluoresces (though none of it is actually
from Ford either. He sells fordite from Jeep and Kenworth.)
