When I am deciding between various stones, the one that "likes" me the most usually gets warm. Maybe you should try that...just hold two respective stones in your hand and see which one gets warm first, then keep moving to other stones until you find the one that "speaks" to you. Sometimes you'll find that a stone that is supposed to have certain properties is just in tune with your particular energy field and can be used for any number of things.
When it comes to chakra stones, here are my personal preferences - garnet, carnelian, citrine, flourite or malachite, selenite, lemurian seed crystal for the indigo (these are actually rather easy to find in spite of the fancy name) and amethyst or crystal quartz for violet.
