What Is Petoskey Stone? Michigan’s Official State Stone

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.

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
