My favorites (from the top of my head):

—Aquamarine
—Amethyst
—Sapphire
—Opal
—Beryl
—Tourmaline
—Kiwi jasper
—Jade
—Moonstone
—Garnet
—Peridot
—Tiger’s eye
—Lapis lazuli
—Citrine
—Rose quartz

My birthstone is diamond, but personally I find them a bit too flashy for my taste.

A couple of my favorites include sapphire, lapis lazuli, and ESPECIALLY opal. There are probably more I like though...gemstones are awesome.

 

[Snowesque]

I like opals, moonstone, and labradorite! I own both besides opal. They're all quite pretty. I always like learning about the history of supposedly "cursed" stones, or their previous uses in paints and medicine.

[VernalLapin]

My favorite gem is chrysoprase. Huge fan of opals and watermelon tourmaline as well. I like the very vibrant ones. My parents got me a gemstone box for christmas as a kid with a polished and unpolished example since I was a huge jewelry channel fan. I don’t have a pic at the moment but it’s pretty cool. Edit: also rainbow bismuth is so pretty!

Mines are Lapis lazuli and Amethyst, my birthstone and it's such a lovely color.
