Petoskey Stones
A Petoskey Stone & Looking for them at Lake Michigan
We not only looked for Beach glass but we also hunted for Petoskey stones at Lake Michigan. For the most part, I think that near the city of Petoskey on Lake Michigan is the only place to find the Stones.
I have a few stones but they were a little harder to find. They are really pretty as a polished stone. These stones are a fossil type of rock that is the remains of some type of sea creature.
A lot of jewelry is fashioned from the stones such as necklaces, pendants, bracelets and etc. They are also made into little figurines that look like toadstools or mushrooms. I have a petoskey stone toadstool on my shelf.
If you ever are near the northern part of lower Michigan don't fail to visit Petoskey State park, it is a beautiful and fascinating place to see!
