Thursday thought.......
Have you ever wondered why some petoskey stones are a lot darker than others?
The darkness in the corals eyes depict how much crude oil was in the area.
In some areas your stones will tend to have a blond look to them. I have found that these blond ones seem to have a easier time breaking down and don't polish up as well.
On the other hand, the Petoskeys with the dark eyes and great detail are the ones everyone likes. Don't get me wrong both the ighter and darker eyed petoskeys have their own unique looks.
Even with fossil soup and cladapora. When we have these stones on the saws or wheels, you definitely can smell the burnt oil in the air. These stones with the dark sediments polish up a very nice deep brown to black. They can really look nice.
Again, I am not an expert, just sharing my experiences.
Here are some pics for example.
