While this Petoskey "stone" cannot exactly be cut and polished, it was a fun find. It is located right off of the Lake Michigan shore in a few feet of water. When the waves are big, which is always, the entire rock is exposed. Each of the white area is a Petoskey coral head that embedded in a shale matrix. For those of you that travel up to the Leelanau Pennisula, it can be found at the following coordinates.
Lat: 45;1;58.79999999
Long: 85;45;25.79999999

You don't provide a scale or hint at its size, but I'm assuming I can't carry it out of the water. Cheers for the location. Tom

We could rent one of those chain saw powered concrete cutters. That stone is soft. We could get it all.
I have run a chain saw in water many times to destroy beaver dams and log jams. Talk about spraying water from one end to the other.
