This is not a copy of anyone else's stone lists, nor a cookie cutter version of correspondances and properties. This is my list of stones, based on my own feelings and experiences. Therefore they'll differ from other stone lists. I am only listing here the stones I own and have worked with. This list is not meant to be definitive - if you would like more information about a particular stone, I recommend looking at Melody's book Love Is In the Earth.

There are two basic energies that stones possess. They are either projective, or receptive.

Projective stones can be used in healing others, protection, intellectual powers, luck, success, will power, courage, and for self-confidence. Projective stones tend to be strong, outgoing, and forceful.

Receptive stones draw energy towards themselces and can be used for healing the self, soothing, love, wisdom, compassion, eloquence, sleep, dreams, friendship, growth, fertility, prosperity, spirituality, psychism, and mysticism. Receptive stones are calm, inward, and peaceful.

That being said, gemstones often connect with people in unique ways - they might be both projective and receptive, or you might find they will project for one and recieve for another. It's always worth trying out a stone to see what it does (or doesn't) do for you.
