Excellent book! July 17, 2007

What a great book for adults and children. It is so nice to learn the history of the Petoskey stone. Gives you ideas of where to go and find them. I highly recommended this book to anyone who visits Lake Michigan and Lake Huron( I'v found many of these fossils in Lake Huron as well) and enjoys to look at the rocks and pick up a few along your travels on the shore.Reading this makes me wish I was a geologist myself!
This book is a must for the library of every September 17, 2006

rock collector, both novice and experienced. Detailed information on all aspects of the Petoskey stone are presented in a enjoyable and straightforward manner. The origin, history, location, finishing techniques [shaping, polishing] and craft uses of Michigan's state stone are all covered. To say Bruce Mueller & William Wilde's book will increase your knowledge and enjoyment of this beautiful stone is a understatement. This book provides readers with the precise location of sites in which one is likely to find Petoskey stones. On my first visit to a location described in "The Complete Guide to Petoskey Stones", I found more & larger Petoskey stones [around 30] in 2 hours than I'd found in the past four years.
In August, I had the privilege of meeting author Bruce Mueller at his rock shop, C & M Rock Shop, which is just outside of Honor, Michigan. Mr Mueller was warm, friendly and willing to answer questions concerning the Petoskey Stone. Bruce Mueller was also kind enough to sign my copy of "Complete Guide to Petoskey Stones" and "Lake Michigan Rock Pickers Guide". Both of Bruce Mueller's wonderful books have been invaluable in enhancing my understanding of, ability to locate and uses for the treasures lying along Lake Michigan's beaches.
