Obsidian is good for cleansing, psionic shielding, grounding, Earth star, and root chakras. Black Tourmaline is another that has similar properties for those purposes. Carnelian or any other variety of quartz that's naturally red due to hematite is good red/orange ray. Hematite itself is a nice grounding stone that cancels out environmental and empathic "static/noise" really well. Jet is another good one.
Any variety of Zircon other than blue is great for all of the chakras at once but especially strong in the lower triad and grounding. It's pretty heavy duty so for some people limited use will be better than wearing or carrying it all day. Petrified wood is a nice grounding stone. Colors, features, and mineral makeup will vary along with other traits but any variety of petrified wood is good for grounding and Earth Star chakra.
My favorites for yellow ray would be yellow common opal(not the expensive gem kind), amber, quartz with yellow Sulphur inclusions, gold tiger's eye, and Libyan desert glass. LDG is not really super cheap or a "beginner" stone but good to use sparingly if you need heavy duty yellow ray and higher chakras.
Red and Gold tiger's eye are easy to find and inexpensive, durable, look great and great stones for lower chakras. Red is more root/sacral and gold is more sacral/solar plexus. I personally like orange banded jade for orange ray. Orange common opal is nice too. Opal and jet are mineraloids, amber is a natural polymer, and obsidian is a natural glass, meaning they don't have crystalline structures and some of them vibrate a bit more gently, but have their own strengths. LDG is an impactite/tektite/natural glass formed by a meteor in Egypt/Libya 28m or so years ago. It's the stone king Tut's Scarab is carved from.
Simply having the crystal with you or hold it while meditating is the best way to begin using it. I personally avoid complicated workings and would advise so until more experience. Other than that, what Diana said is a good rule of thumb. Try what you like! If you are drawn to a certain type of stone, try it out.
