 Petoskey stones, colonial coral fossils, can be found in various states, but a significant number are found along the shores of the northern part of Lake Michigan, and across the northern section of the lower peninsula of Michigan. An unpolished Petoskey stone is usually a dull gray and often appears to have faint white markings. Frequently the six-sided areas of the coral fossil can be seen while the stone is still dry.

 An [[w:Petoskey_stone#Etymology|Ottawa Indian legend]] states that a French noble man named [[w:Antoine_Carre_(explorer)|Antoine Carre]], a fur trader with the John Jacob Astor Fur Company, met and married an [[w:Odawa|Ottawa]] Indian princess. He was given the name of Neatooshing and became the chief of the tribe.
 In 1787, a baby was born to the chief and noting the sunshine on the son's face, he was given the name of [[w:Petosegay|Petosegay]]. The name translated means "rising sun", "sunbeams of promise", or "rays of dawn”. As years went by he became a wealthy fur trader and married the daughter of the Ottawa chief, Pokozeegun.
 In 1873, just before the death of Petosegay, a city came into being on his land along the bay at Bear Creek. The city, which was small at first, was named [[w:Petoskey,_Michigan|Petoskey]], an English adaptation of the name Petosegay. It is here that a large number of [[w:Petoskey_stone|Petoskey stones]] are found.

 Before looking in an area for Petoskey stones, make sure the area is safe and that any and all necessary permissions have been secured. Make sure that young people are properly supervised. Leave the area cleaner than you found it. Be courteous of others that may be in the area.
 Be conservative in the number of specimens that you take with you. Petoskey stones are non�renewable.

 Begin by getting the stone wet.
 Using rougher grits of sandpaper- (40, 60, or 80 ) grit, hold the stone firmly and rub the area to be polished. The first sanding requires much time and care so as to remove as many nicks and cracks as possible.
 Keep the stone wet at all times.
 Continue to use other grits of sand paper which will remove scratches-(220, 320, 400, 600, 1500 ) grit.
 Finally, you can finish your stone by using various rubbing and polishing compounds such as are used with automobile polishing.
 Dry your stone and examine.
 There may be areas that need this procedure repeated to improve spots that may have been overlooked.
 You can't use a standard rock polisher on a Petoskey stone because they are too soft and brittle and a rotary tumbler can easily erode their delicate structures, leaving them with mud instead of a polish. However, with precautions like using a very gentle tumble, shorter times,
 and added cushioning media, it is possible to use a tumbler for the initial shaping and smoothing stages. Many recommend a vibratory tumbler or hand-polishing for the final shine.

 Stones can be purchased on-line. If possible, go to an area where Petoskey stones are found. Polishing one that you have discovered can be the most rewarding. Follow the polishing procedures listed under requirement number eight.
 Results will vary depending on the quality of the stone and your patience, perseverance, and care. Stick with it! If it is a good stone - the more you sand the prettier the stone will be.
