Don’t worry Diana, I think Dutch Tulip craze has peaked!
Thing to worry about now are crazy seed shortage bubbles! (Going in big on leeks, peppers, tomatos, and basil!)
(And don’t forget fertilizers!!)

Yes to the seed shortages. Everyone is suddenly a gardener, it seems. ;)
My Dad actually did some gold panning in Wisconsin back in the day. He was also one to hunt gems and fancy rocks in Arkansas. Never did find anything, though.
He brought back a lovely chunk of ore with an Opal vein through it, from Australia. I recently had it polished and it is SO gorgeous!
This guy did the work. He is Mom’s and my go-to guy for Opals, by far:
The rock was appraised at $300, and HALF of that is what it cost for me to get it polished and appraised!
I guess I’m not that savvy of an ‘investor’ when it comes to pretty rocks, LOL!
