What is Petosky Stone?

Petosky Stone is a rock of fossilized coral. Dry stones look like limestone but polishing brings out a mottled pattern of six-sided coral fossils. Petosky comes from the name of the 19th century Ottawa Indian chief Petosega, a fur trader who live on the shores of Lake Michigan. The town of Petosky, Michigan is named after the chief and the shores of Lake Michigan are a prime source of Petosky stone. In 1965, it was named the state stone of Michigan. Some believe that the eye configurations on Petoskey Stone enhance psychic awareness, and help you tune in to your emotions and creative ablilities.. Read about stones.
