Petoskey Stone
The Petoskey Stone is a type of fossilized colony coral which exhibits an "eye" when polished. This coral lived about 350 million years ago during the Devonian Age in a sea which covered the state of Michigan. Today the fossil remains are found in and around Petoskey, Michigan USA. The color is a grayish-brown with both light and dark variations and its " eye" is usually a darker brown. The stones' scientific name is "Hexagonaria", taken from the hexagon shapes of the cell chambers which are almost always white in color. In 1965 the Petoskey Stone was adopted as the official state stone of Michigan.

After my husband’s death, it was very important to me to keep our rings together in a setting of some type. It took several years to find the right person to create my memory-keeper. When my husband was in the hospital I always wore his wedding ring on a chain along with a heart he had given me. After his death, when I wanted to make our rings into something permanent, most jewelers suggested melting the rings down or reshaping them into a totally new design.
