Know what you are piecing together

The patterns in these puzzles come from real Michigan finds. Start with three of the most recognizable materials in the collection.

Fossil coral

Petoskey stone

Look for a repeating honeycomb pattern with lines that radiate from the center of each cell.

Use the Petoskey guide

Favosites fossil coral

Charlevoix stone

Its small, tightly packed coral cells can look finer and closer together than the pattern in a Petoskey stone.

Historic iron-smelting slag

Leland Blue

This glass-like material appears in blues, greens, and marbled colors left by Leland's historic iron industry.
