Collector’s Notes
Petoskey stone is a beloved Great Lakes collectible—fossilized coral associated with Michigan, prized for its natural “honeycomb” pattern when polished. In a bolo slide, it’s the best kind of wearable souvenir: Western style with a real Midwest story built in.
Friendly hook: If you love pieces that feel like a conversation starter and a keepsake, this one’s ready to become your signature.
