Petoskey, MI

Larry and Mem did some window shopping together, but Mem joined the other ladies for the serious shopping. Mem introduced us to Petoskey Stones which are fossilized coral more than 300 years old. Souvenir hunters and shoppers come to Petoskey from far and wide to find or purchase these 'stones'. Stones can be found along public beaches anywhere in the Traverse Bay region. In stores the stones are polished up and often carved into shapes and crafted into jewelry.
