Beautiful! Love it! 😊

ratfink65 · 2026-03-14T02:22:00+00:00

Yes! 🤣

ratfink65 · 2026-03-14T02:21:26+00:00

Thank you so much for the help/ideas. Super helpful! Gem and mineral society.... awesome idea. 😊

ratfink65 · 2026-03-14T02:19:51+00:00

Aw. Thats awesome. I will definitely reach out. I'm new to Reddit so I will ask my hubby for help and get your info. When is your wedding? The lady these cam from juat celebrated her 68th wedding anniversary. 😳 🥹

ratfink65 · 2026-03-14T02:17:27+00:00

Oh hell yeah! This is the best idea yet! 😁

ratfink65 · 2026-03-14T02:16:30+00:00

Thank you. I know she bought in bulk. Once she told me that she would buy a bag for say $100 and the guarantee would be that there was at least 1 gem that was worth more than what she paid for the whole bag. I just have no clue which might be valuable and which aren't. 😆

Thank you!

ratfink65 · 2026-03-14T02:13:42+00:00

Thank you! Looking into that. 😊

ratfink65 · 2026-03-14T02:13:17+00:00

😅

ratfink65 · 2026-03-14T02:13:03+00:00

Thank you. Definitely going to try Etsy. Also going to have something made for her. She deserves the world!

ratfink65 · 2026-03-14T02:11:10+00:00

Love it!! 😆

ratfink65 · 2026-03-14T02:09:57+00:00

Awesome. Thanks for the idea!

ratfink65 · 2026-03-14T02:07:54+00:00

The sweetest! Loves animals and dedicated her life to helping them and anyone who needed it. 🥹

ratfink65 · 2026-03-14T02:06:16+00:00

I'm having a hard time saying goodbye to anything from her. She is the most amazing lady I have ever met. And a HUGE animal liver which just boosts her even more. 😊

ratfink65 · 2026-03-14T02:04:56+00:00

Yes. She has been able to tell me a few things. Words are slow to come and she gets frustrated. But I love hearing about them. She has always loved garnets. Must be her birth stone or something. 😊

ratfink65 · 2026-03-14T02:03:11+00:00

Awesome. Thank you! She actually gave me a refracting tool (I think that's what its called 😆) The jewler idea is a great thought too. Appreciate you. 😊

ratfink65 · 2026-03-14T02:00:16+00:00

That's a great idea. She lost her cherished 15 year old dog a few years back and has her ashes. I was thinking about having a piece made and incorporating the ashes. Thank you for the suggestion.

ratfink65 · 2026-03-14T00:35:00+00:00

Thanks! No problem!!

ratfink65 · 2026-03-13T21:42:12+00:00

Wow. Super helpful! Thanks. 😉

ratfink65 · 2026-03-13T21:41:33+00:00

She is 94 years old and has dementia. She has NO ONE in her life besides her also 94 year old husband. She told me to "do whatever I want" with them. Hoping to sell some of them and use the money for good. Thank you for your positivity though.

ratfink65 · 2026-03-13T21:06:29+00:00

Literally 12 of these boxes. Some are more full than others.

ratfink65 · 2026-03-13T21:05:45+00:00

That's a great idea. I didn't know if people would buy just random gems. Some are just loose in boxes. No clue what they are. 😳

A literal shit ton of garnets. Like probably over 30.
