Very cool! Here are some I found on a trip to Mackinac Island last year.

that is some cool stuff, I have cabbed a few pieces, very soft like a 4 on the Mohs scale...you can polish those there just rubbing the sides with another rock or sandpaper
 

Yeah I polish with sandpaper just takes so long I have much larger ones just don't have the time
 

I saw some of these on display in Texas. Do they only come from Michigan? I wander what causes them? They are something to see when polished.
 

Well I know you can only find them in and around petoskey Michigan and some spots in the upper and all they are is 350 million old fossilized coral
 

They were formed by glaciers might have some for sale or trade if anyone is interested
