Looks like Hexagonaria percarinata coral

Where was it found?

reminds me if the Petoskey stones from Michigan.

Water worn/tumbled coral - maybe something like Hexagonaria

I agree - Devonian coral Hexagonaria or similar.  We used to pick those up by the bucket load on the shores of lake Michigan.  Here is a wiki:

Pretty neat coral!

Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such.
