Can you help me with something?

What is your favourite gemstone and why? Doesn't have to be anything complicated, you could just like the color or feel, thank you!

I don't really have a single favourite - I have several rings and earrings with amethyst, because I love purple, but I also really like garnets for that rich red. Garnets are interesting as their colour changes according to what's backing the stone - witness the way the Anglo Saxons got them to really glow with a textured gold underneath the flat cut stone. I do have a preference for cabochon stones.
