Do you have a favorite gemstone?

Although I'm not that interested in gemstone, if I had to choose, I like Topaz since my favorite colour is orange. Gemstones like diamonds are beautiful, but I don't think they have a worth more than hundreds of millions of yen. Replica is enough for me.

Thank you very much for your careful corrections.
You teach me more natural phrases, which is very helpful for my studies.
My English is still not natural, but I think I will start by learning to write what I want to say, and then I will improve from there.

Though "if I had to choose, I like Topaz..." isn't necessarily incorrect, it sounds unnatural. The more common phrase is.
"if I had to choose, I would say..." so a more natural sounding sentence might be
"Although I'm not that interested in gemstones, if I had to choose, I would say Topaz, since my favorite colour is orange."

Gemstones like diamonds are beautiful, but I don't think they have a worth of more than some hundreds of millions of yen.

A slightly more natural way to say the second part of this sentence is:
"but I don't think they're worth more than a few hundred-million yen"

Replica iss are enough for me.

Since you are speaking about replicas in general, you would use the plural form. Otherwise it would imply that you are only talking about 1 specific replica.

Great Job! My favorite gemstone is probably ruby, as the crimson red color is cool. I would never own one myself though.

Although I'm not that interested in gemstones, if I had to choose, I like Ttopaz since my favorite colour is orange.

1. I write in American English, so I spell that word as "color"; British English would demand that you put the "u" back in the word. :)
2. "topaz" is a common noun, so you don't capitalize it. On that note: gem-quality topaz can actually come in a variety of colors (the light blue variant is my personal favorite), but samples with a brownish-orange tint are certainly frequently encountered.

Gemstones like diamonds are beautiful, but I don't think they have a worth more than hundreds of millions of yen.

This is okay as is, but I also wanted to point out an alternative rephrasing: "I don't think it's worth spending hundreds of millions of yen on them."

RA replica is enough for me.
