Kevin Gauthier of the Korner Gem, Traverse City, MI makes the most of the natural beauty of Petoskey stones. He has been collecting, polishing, cutting and making gorgeous jewelry out of Michigan stones since he was a boy. This piece is so appropriate since the Petoskey stone is also the state stone! The pendant is a carved State of Michigan, and is 1 1/4” long overall. No two stones are alike.... and that is part of their charm. If you like, we can send you images of the pendants currently available.
Petoskey stones were a living coral colony millions of years ago, when Michigan was deep under a salt water sea, now a beautifully patterned fossil stone, treasure we hunt on the beach.
