Hello Orchids!

A good place to start is the link at the top of the coloured stones section: "sites selling coloured gemstones and jewellry". Those are reputable, proven sellers that many of us have dealt with. It will get you going.

It all depends on what's your definition of a good price.  In any case, as mentioned above, the links are a good start.  If you don't care about gentle heat treatment (which is the only treatment accepted by the trade), then your $$ will go a longer way.

Heat treatment isn't really noticeable to the naked eye.  It makes a greenish or grayish stone have a purer blue hue.  There are some who are very picky and want the velvety look in their sapphire and those are usually unheated, but at the same time easily costs 3x or more.
