When I started around the age of 12, the internet didn't exist yet and libraries didn't really have a lot of books on the subject. I was fortunate to learn from a person who had a gemstones kiosk and who didn't just sell them: he took the time to explain and teach a bit about it. Nowadays, with the internet and the multitude of books available on the market, getting started in this field is much easier. Here is my personal summary.
working with gemstones is a work of energy
The first thing that is important to understand is that the work with the gemstones is a work of energy. Everything is energy: us, the animals, everything that actually lives but also everything that seems immobile, the houses (for example, the famous queen of the household Marie Kondo who greets each house before working ), plants, minerals, colors, sounds, etc.
The human is a set of energetic layers (the aura, the etheric, to name two known ones) and we also have energy networks throughout our body (the chakras, acupuncture points, etc.). When we work with a stone, we come into contact with the energy of this one and that becomes in a way a support, a help.

It is very important to follow your intuition.
