   Depends on the stones.

   You shouldn’t buy something to match their price. (They could’ve been on sale, anyway.) Buy her something you think she’d like.

   I live in Southern France and on the outer reaches of Paris, there are tonnes for 23 euros which is about 30 USD

   Can’t say how much your particular stones cost. The price depends on the particular material, workmanship, how many times the item was marked up through resale and how they were set in what material. You cannot expect all opals to cost the same and be priced like tourqouis or smoky quartz or garnet. It might be possible to come up with a ballpark range on a stone if the type is known, but there’s no clue in the question.

   I used to buy rough opals for a few dollars and cut them into jewels that sold for more than ten times my cost for the small ones. Bigger ones with the right color were worth hundreds each after finishing. Tourqouis and malachite was always a joy to work as well because of how much you could multiply your profit for a moderate amount of work. Agate was hard and took a lot of time, but beautiful in the end. There was more value in the time than the material.Other stones could be tumble finshed and drilled for beads- there’s a lot of things you can find on the beach or hiking in the hills or find in a stream- and come up with works of art for moderate effort. Price is how badly the buyer wants the item and how different it is from the ones the next guy’s selling. Visit jewelry exhibits at State and County fairs and you’ll see what a lucrative trade hobby jewelry is- and that is without going to precious minerals.

   Your gift could have been pricey if from a good store and being a well-matched set, but the real value is in how pleased you are with it.

   Get to know what your aunt likes and make a gift to her something that she’d be pleased with- regardless of the price. Who knows, a nice photo of yourself in a nice frame might be more precious to her.
