Petoskey Gallery
Welcome! The Petoskey Stones listed below are representative of the types of stones we offer.
Why do they shine?
All of our stones are buffed on a lapidary wheel to a high polish. We don't lacquer or polyurethane them.
Pricing
Pricing of Petoskey Stones depends on the following considerations:
- quality of preservation of the corallites
- size of stone
- the stone's ability to take a high polish
- esthetic appeal
- unique characteristics (does it incorporate other fossils, are the corallites extra large, extra small, or especially regular, is the color unusual, etc.)
We're too far to visit?
If you can't come in to the shop and would like us to choose stones for you, we're happy to do so. We may have a 3" stone polished on all sides for $15 or a 2" stone polished on one side for the same price, so we'll need to know:
- your chosen price range,
- whether size or quality of the stone is most important to you, and
- if you want all sides polished, one side polished, or merely a portion of the stone polished.
Buy what you see
Enerdyne's Petoskey Stone Gallery contains stones in the $25-and-up range that are in stock and available for purchase. We try very hard to keep this section current for your convenience. The Gallery doesn't necessarily show everything $25-and-up that we currently have in stock, and we can also try to meet your needs/wants by specifying them to our suppliers.
If you need more information or wish to order, please contact us by phone (231-271-6033) or E-mail.

The first windmills were developed to automate the tasks of grain-grinding and water-pumping and the earliest-known design is the vertical axis system developed in Persia about 500-900 A.D. The first use was apparently water pumping, but the exact method of water transport is not known because no drawings or designs -- only verbal accounts -- are available. The first known documented design is also of a Persian windmill, this one with vertical sails made of bundles of reeds or wood which were attached to the central vertical shaft by horizontal struts.
