Part of the fun and challenge of creating pieces is finding interesting stones and beads. I'm always looking for new websites to explore and have a couple to suggest here.

House of Gems has quite a few supplies for jewelry making and a pretty extensive variety of stones.

Dakota Stones is just stones but you will find really interesting shapes and stones you don't run across often.
There is always Rio Grande, a wonderful resource for supplies and instruction. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and will guide you to the right product and tools for your project.
