I have a large collection (bordering a problem). My daily crystals are usually my ruby ring, my moonstone ring, and a pink lemurian quartz crystal that I tied with hemp to wear around my neck. Other common companions are my carnelian, obsidian, black tourmaline. My favorite pieces of mine are my polished citrine point, my large black tourmaline, my super nice fluorite generator... I have many favorite pieces.
I also highly recommend to do some regular cleansing of crystals. Some crystals are especially adept at absorbing negative energy, and helping them release it is part of being a good steward for their consciousness. I try to sage my house at LEAST once a week, paying special attention to stagnant corners and all my crystals and plants. I had fallen behind on spiritual hygeine apparently - it had been several weeks, in fact the last time I started to sage a few weeks ago I was interrupted by a house guest and had to exhume the smoke as soon as I got my bundle lit, and didn't resume.... anyway, yesterday we had one of our first crystal casualties, in a moment of panic (the meter reader had left out gate open and our dog had escaped!) my favorite piece of malachite and arguably one of my most strikingly beautiful pieces caught a gust of wind, flew off our altar and crashed in two. Malachite is the most notorious for breaking when it becomes bogged down with negative energy. I did a nice thorough smudge and it was a good reminder to pay attention.
Gemini, peppermint oil is very great and I actually recommend everyone keep peppermint oil around, I use it for so much - indigestion, pain, nausea - it's pretty magical. As far as crystals that might help with your GI issues, I'd recommend carnelian - it's a nice red/orange stone so it will help with the red/orange chakras. Most stone colors are analogous to chakras, so if anyone feels like they need a stone to help them out, it's about as simple as color pairing. There are a few outliers to this rule (more often that stones are good for multiple chakras and not just their exact color duplicate), and black stones help with red/root chakra and grounding, and typically clear stones are associated with the violet ray, though clear quartz can do just about everything any other crystal can do.
Here's a (sloppy) picture of most of my collection, after I had unpacked it when we moved to stage it all. (linking to the image so you can zoom in if you want)
The malachite that broke is on the bottom shelf of the tiered shelf, towards the back, you can see a horse made out of jade, and below the horse is a polished piece of malachite, and then there are two other pieces of jade that say peace and love.

Here's some close-ups of some of my pieces (I went looking for it because I was hoping maybe I had taken a picture of my malachite that had broken, but I didn't - there's a different piece of malachite though) http://www.bring4th.org/forums/showthrea...#pid164829
