Judith Ann Boyer says:Petoskey stones are really hard to find in a polished bead strand you can try Nawbin in Traverse City, they have strands of Petoskey stones but they are small, the pendants you can find in Northern Michigan anywhere but they are pricey. Lima sold some a few months back, but they have not had them in a while..Thanks again for all the compliments!
