Petoskey stones are a fossilized Devonian coral called Hexagonaria percarinata. They are found on the shores of Lake Michigan around the Petoskey, Michigan area, and no where else on earth. Some corals from Indonesia are "passed off" as Petoskey stones, but they are not the same thing.
Petoskey stones can only be found in lake Michigan. Lake Michigan used to be an ocean near the equator. A petoskey stone is a stone that looks like a turtle shell when wet, it is actually fossilized coral.These amazing stones are very very hard to find now because they are very popular and used as jewelry. If you polish these stones you will be able to see there amazing print without water.
The Petoskey Stone is not only a rock, but a fossil as well. These pebble-shaped stones were formed as a result of glaciation. It is the state stone of Michigan and, can be found in places like, Lake Michigan and beaches near it.
