THE POLISHED PETOSKEY STONE

Petoskey Stones are found mostly in Northern Michigan. A lot of people polish and sell them. Petoskey Stones are found along beaches or in gravel pits after a rain. No two raw Petoskey Stones is exactly alike.

The history of the Petoskey Stone is replete with legends and stories that are as fascinating as the stones are beautiful. Scientists believe that the Petoskey Stones are the fossilized remains of an ancient coral that lived in a shallow sea 350 million years ago. That would have been during the Devonian Era which was long before dinosaurs existed.

Psychics believe the Petoskey Stones have certain powers. Jewelers and other lapidary experts believe that Petoskey Stones are great for making Jewelry and other art items.
