About Petoskey Stones
Known locally as Petoskey stones, this fossil coral is commonly found along the shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, as well as in rock quarries stretching from Alpena to Traverse City, Michigan. The material comes from Hexagonaria percarinata, a species of rugose coral that lived during the Middle Devonian, roughly 350 million years ago. Petoskey stones are officially designated as the state stone of Michigan.
