Collector's Notes

Petoskey stones are fossil coral specimens associated with Michigan and the Great Lakes, and they are known for their visible coral-cell patterning.

This piece suits a rockhound, fossil collector, classroom shelf, nature table, or someone who likes small geological pieces with a story built in.

The flower-like patterning gives this small stone good display interest without needing polish or a fancy setting.

A pocket-sized fossil with enough pattern to make you look twice.
