Did I see Petoskey stone? It's Michigan's state stone. Want some???Originally Posted by strange_wings
I used to have a fairly large collection of semi precious and other random stones. When I was moving out of my father's home he let other people go through my stuff and pick out what they wanted.I still mourn the loss of those stones.
I still have some of the unpolished stones from my collection, though. I wish I had more pieces of petoskey stone.
I need to get my mother to send me some.Originally Posted by AddieBee
