Hunting for Agates
Even wind and rain can't deter the avid collectors hunting for agates and Petoskey Stones that can be found among the millions of weathered beach stones washed up onto the Lake Michigan shorelines. In fact windy, rainy days might even be the best days. Rain wetting the dull, weathered stone brings out the color and patterns of fossils in the rock; and, the wind washes more stones ashore.
(Petoskey Stone is limestone rock with a pattern of fossil coral. that is unique to Michigan en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petoskey_stone )
(Agates are are rocks with attractive bands of quartz and chalcedony. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agate )
