Hexagonaria coral fossils are among the most visually distinctive fossil corals available to collectors. Formed during the Devonian Period, these ancient corals developed tightly interlocking, hexagonal skeletal cups that create natural flower-like and honeycomb designs across the fossil surface. These patterns become especially dramatic when the fossil is polished, revealing the coral’s internal skeletal structure.
Important sources include the Assa Zag region of the Moroccan Sahara and the Great Lakes region of the United States. In Michigan, Hexagonaria percarinata is known as the Petoskey stone and is designated as the official state stone. Polished pieces display warm, earthy tones and intricate geometric patterns, making them highly desirable for jewelry, decorative objects, and fossil displays. Each specimen is naturally unique, ensuring that no two pieces share the same pattern.
