Can someone point me in the right direction??

So we can help you better, what kinds of projects do you plan, and what do you plan to do with them (eg give them to kids, sell them to rich people?). And where do you live, and what are your local resources.

My first step was to see what Fairbanks has locally, which is surprisingly much.

Next I looked at catalogues. Fire Mountain Gem is a good place to start.

It has a wide selection, if not the bestquality and prices. I like to see the colors I buy, so I try to buy thosein person. For better gemstones and findings I use my Rio Grande catalogue With those catalogues, I can always compareprices at other sites.Tina
