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.
Petoskey Stone- a rock and a fossil, often pebble-shaped, that is composed of a fossilized coral, Hexagonaria percarinata.
Petoskey stones can be found on many types of beaches and inland locations in Michigan. The movement of the frozen lake ice acting on the shore during the winters turns over stones at the shore of Lake Michigan showing new Petoskey stones at the water's edge each spring. -Arissa
A one ton Petoskey "boulder" was found at the Sleeping Bear Dunes Lakeshore by rockhound Chuck Schnake in 1999.
Petoskey stone has only been found in Michigan's upper peninsula and in the northern lower peninsula.
Petoskey stone is actually fossilized coral dating back to the Devonian period.
Petoskey stone is fossilized coral which dates back to the Devonian period (about 350 million years ago.)
Petoskey stone is usually found washed up on the beach in the Petoskey region of Michigan.
Ancient coral

Petoskey is actually fossilized coral.
Soft stone is an ancient activity where pieces of rough natural Rock_(geology) are shaped by the controlled removal of stone. Owing to the permanence of the material, evidence can be found that even the earliest societies indulged in some form of stone work.
There are a number of minerals found in Stone Mountain in Georgia. These include biotite, granite, as well as magma.

The pattern on a petoskey stone is a hexagon.
From the state stone...the Petoskey Stone. (I guess)

Yes, a Petoskey stone is a type of sedimentary rock. It is formed from the remains of ancient coral reefs found in freshwater deposits in Michigan, USA. The stone is composed of fossilized coral, which gives it its distinct pattern.
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.
When all the contents were together there was shallow water in Michigan so the Petoskey Stone was transferred to Michigan and that's how it supports the continental theory. hope this helps. ;-D
because the gem-isle was cute to them and they chose that rock
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.
