Devonian Age, 350 million years old

During the Devonian Period, coral reefs were dominated by rugose and tabulate corals, with Hexagonaria playing a significant role in reef formation. This colonial coral formed large, rigid skeletal structures that contributed to the framework of ancient reef systems. Each colony was composed of tightly packed, hexagonal corallites, complete with central skeletal pillars and radiating septae, forming the signature honeycomb appearance.

Hexagonaria fossils are found in Devonian deposits of Morocco and Michigan, where they are famously known as Petoskey stones. When polished, the fossils reveal striking internal patterns and natural color variations. These specimens provide valuable insight into Devonian reef ecology while also serving as beautiful natural objects used in lapidary work, home décor, and educational collections.
