Bob & I were honored to have gotten this Petoskey Stone from homeschool friends years ago that lived in Michigan that went to the same church and wondered if we had been there. Road trip on our bucket list,
As one of the largest purveyors of Petoskey Stones in Northern Michigan (and the fact that we can find them in our front yard) we know a thing or two about Michigan’s ultimate souvenir.
Michigan’s state stone, the Petoskey stone, is a rock and fossil that is composed of a fossilized rugose coral combined mostly with calcite. Rugose coral were found to have been both solitary and live in colonies!
The name 'Petoskey' comes from an Ottawa Indian Chief, Chief Pet-O-Sega. The city of Petoskey, Michigan is also named after him and is the center of the area where these stones of fossilized coral are found. The stones are most easily found on beaches and in sand dunes.
We happen to offer one of the largest selections of Petoskey Stones in Northern Michigan and we LOVE to talk about them. Come check out our collection of polished, unpolished, shaped, and Petoskey Stone art.
