The following websites have general information about gemstones, where to buy them in different sizes and shapes, even a chunk of the original rock, and healing properties. There are many thousands of websites like these. Gemstone research opens up the fascinating world of gemstone information, sources and organized international Gemological Societies.
This is a website about choosing gemstones for a loved one by businesswoman Kathy Ireland, where she says:
Becoming familiar with the many gemstones available will help with your decision in choosing a stone. The more familiar you are with your options, the easier it will be to find the gemstone that perfectly captures how special she is to you.
Browse through the Birthstone Calendar to see which gemstone corresponds with her birth month. Maybe she’s always wanted a piece of jewelry with her month’s stone. Or maybe she’s always been in love with a particular colored stone. Maybe you can find a beautiful piece of jewelry adorned with the stone from the month you two first met. The nice thing about the gemstone calendar is that you can wear any stone from any month, and it doesn’t matter to the jewelry world.

As an example, let's dream and learn about:
