Petoskey Stone is the name of a fossilized colony coral found only in the Michigan and the Great Lakes areas that were part of the 350 million years ago Devonian Age inland sea. Petoskey stone is distinguished by the dark “eye” found in the middle of the six-sided coral fossils that cover its surface. Like other corals, Petoskey stone enhances awareness of the emotions and helps you clear out negative emotional influences.
Petoskey stone is the state stone of Michigan and is named after the Ottawa Indian Chief on whose property these stones were first found. Specimens have polished surface, natural underside.
