I was in the same boat, but I think it's good to resist the temptation to get ALLLLL the crystals, then again that's just me. I started by using crystals to enhance certain things rather than just by themselves (although they can totally be used by themselves). So say you're doing a new moon ritual, moonstone! Doing a tarot reading? Maybe a crystal for a particular deck or a particular problem that you're using tarot to deal with. Does that make sense? EDIT: You can also find like a "patron stone" to really get to know for a week or two at a time. For me it was Tiger's eye.
