Petoskey stone jewelry showcases the unique charm of fossilized coral found only in Michigan. Formed over 350 million years ago, these stones are prized for their distinctive hexagonal patterns and natural grayish-white tones. Each piece of Petoskey stone jewelry tells a geological story, combining ancient origins with contemporary design. At Grand Goldman, our curated collection includes handcrafted Petoskey stone rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and pendants—each highlighting the stone’s intricate, one-of-a-kind patterns.
Whether you're seeking a meaningful gift, a Michigan keepsake, or a stylish fossil gemstone accessory, Petoskey stone jewelry offers unmatched authenticity and earthy elegance.
Petoskey stone is a type of fossilized rugose coral (Hexagonaria percarinata) that lived in warm shallow seas during the Devonian period. Over millions of years, the coral was buried, compressed, and mineralized, creating the unique fossil pattern that resembles a honeycomb or mosaic.
These stones are primarily found along the beaches of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, especially near Petoskey, Charlevoix, and Traverse City. Designated as Michigan’s official state stone, the Petoskey stone carries deep cultural and geological significance. It is often polished to a smooth, glossy finish, revealing its striking, flower-like pattern and making it ideal for jewelry making.
Every piece of Petoskey stone jewelry is naturally one-of-a-kind. No two stones have the same pattern, making each accessory a truly personal item.
The soft gray, beige, and white tones of Petoskey stones make them incredibly versatile. They pair seamlessly with gold, silver, copper, and leather settings for both men and women.
Petoskey stone is often associated with grounding, healing, and connection to nature. It’s a thoughtful choice for anniversaries, birthdays, or souvenirs from Michigan.

Because Petoskey stones are a form of calcite, they are relatively soft (3–4 on the Mohs hardness scale). Proper care will preserve their polish and prevent damage:
Avoid harsh chemicals, acids, and prolonged water exposure
Store pieces in a soft cloth pouch or jewelry box
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth—avoid ultrasonic cleaners
