Does anyone know where I can find gemstones to make?

There are several ways to go about it. . .

Look up, "Rocks & minerals" or "Gems & Minerals" in the yellow pages for your area. Most cities have at least one specialty shop which deals in rare shiny things dug out of the ground. Sometimes there will be rock collector conventions. Try hunting around on line; those places are super-cool if you're into gems. --Private collectors and guys who trudge around in the dirt with picks and shovels will bring their treasure troves to a hockey rink in a flea-market kind of way to sell their stuff once or twice a year. It's pretty awesome actually that such things happen. You'll be walking around and suddenly realize you're in the middle of a fantasy novel but failed to notice because it happens to be taking place in a hockey arena.

You can also look for the local New Age shop in your area. Usually, they have a selection of crystals, though the good ones are really $$$.

Museum gift shops generally have a selection of gemstones, and you can sometimes get a really nice one for not very much; science people value gems in different ways. --I remember once, I bought a little bag of assorted gemstones for a couple of bucks.

Or you can always order packages of stones on-line. --A friend of mine got into jewelry making to sell. For a very reasonable rate, you can pick out whole selections of stones of all different sorts and qualities and have them shipped to you. She had a lot of fun with that.

My own little bit of advice with crystals. . . Clarity counts. Internal cracks and flaws make them weaker. --Most crystals will hold on to the energy patterns of everybody who touches them. Unless you know somebody who can clear the stone, you're going to get a polluted rock.

Cheers!
