What is a Petoskey Stone?

 

    The Petoskey stone is a type of fossilized coral that’s become an icon of Northern Michigan. More than just a rock, each Petoskey stone is a remnant of an ancient coral reef that flourished in Michigan’s warm, shallow seas about 350 million years ago. The distinctive hexagonal patterns you see are the fossilized skeletons of Hexagonaria percarinata a colonial coral unique to this region.  

 

    According to legend, the stone was named after an Ottawa chief named Petosegay. Over time, the city of Petoskey and this unique stone took on his name, and the Petoskey stone is now the official state stone of Michigan. Petoskey stones are mainly found along the shores of Lake Michigan, especially near Petoskey, Charlevoix, and Traverse City. Their creamy gray and white patterns make them instantly recognizable and highly prized for decorative uses—including stunning countertops.
