Product Description

A beautiful story of how this unique fossil, found only on the shores of Lake Michigan, got its name.

The word "Petosegay" in the Ottawa language means "rays of the rising sun" or "sunbeams of promise." The Legend of the Petoskey Stone tells the tale of a man named after this word and how his extraordinary life inspired the name of a town as well as the treasured stone. From the ancient, warm sea that covered most of the state, through Native American history and the history of the town named after a great chief, The Legend of the Petoskey Stone blends read-aloud storytelling and undeniably beautiful art work to share with all of us the promise of a new day.

Instructions for how to polish a Petoskey stone are included in the back.
