The petoskey stone, which can be collected on the western banks of the Lake Michigan, is usually not an agate, but a polishable devonic-aged limestone with fossil relics of corals, from Hexagonaria percarinata. They produce a popular honeycomb pattern on the surface of the polished stone. The name Petoskey stone was derived from the name of the Ottawa chieftain Petosegay.
