Description

Polished Devonian Petoskey Stone Fossil Coral – Michigan, USA

This striking specimen is a polished Petoskey stone, the fossilized form of the coral Hexagonaria percarinata from the Devonian Period, approximately 350–400 million years old. Sourced from Michigan, USA, it features the coral’s signature hexagonal corallite pattern—clearly visible across the smooth, polished surface—contrasted by the natural fossil texture on the reverse. The intricate starburst formations give this piece both scientific interest and natural beauty.

Highly collectible and visually engaging, Petoskey stones are prized by fossil enthusiasts and decorators alike for their unique connection to ancient marine life. This substantial example would make an excellent display piece for any cabinet of curiosities or natural history collection.

Condition:
Excellent overall with no remarkable damage. The polish is smooth and even, enhancing the fossil’s internal pattern and natural coloration.

Dimensions:
Approx. 4.5" x 7" x 2"
Weight: Approx. 3 lbs
