Savannah Lane 

Growing up by the five Great Lakes, Savannah Lane has grown a love for the water and all the activities it brings her. She picked up her first Petoskey Stone, in Petoskey Michigan and fell in love with them ever since. Over time, Savannah collected many Petoskey stones from Lexington, Petoskey, and Port Austin, where she dives for an abundance of the beautiful, Michigan fossils. When she is not looking for stones, she is either swimming with her swim team or hanging out with her friends and family. Savannah and her family all love the beach and is where they are mostly at in the summertime.
