Nice stones! Nothing wrong with a little guilty pleasure hobby.
My grandmother had some old jewels stored at the house before she died, in an old handmade treasure box (held together by an elastic band). She had gold, rubies, a diamond broach, a sapphire ring, etc. She rarely wore any of it but had collected it through her lifetime, including working for a really rich old lady as her bedside nurse. I don't know where it went after she died, I guess my family got their hands on it and made it disappear. But it was always fun to ask her to pull out the treasures, she would be happy to show them off and tell stories about where they'd come from. All real of course, so the little box was probably worth close to a million LOL
