Depending on what type of stone you want to work with will define the tools you will need. No matter what you will need safety goggles and a half decent respirator especially if you use any power tools.
Soap stone is incredibly soft and easy to work with and chisel kits are inexpensive.
For harder stone you can look at some better chisels that are still affordable. You can move up in quality once you want to commit. A 3lb sledge and wooden mallet will come in handy.
A rotary tool with diamond bits can also be fun to play with. Goggles, respirator and a spray bottle filled with water are needed.
Start hammering away. You will make lots of mistakes but eventually you will start to see the grain in some stones that will show you what can and cannot be done.
Good luck.

It’s not super cheap but a small bottle goes a long way. I use it on all of my alabaster pieces and have been really happy with the result.
I know I'm kind of late to the party, but "rub'n buff" can be really pretty in the letters: https://www.amazon.com/AMACO-Metallic-Finish-0-5-Fluid-Ounce/dp/B00081HYDC For outdoor use it may need a spar varnish or something over it, I'm not sure.
where do you get these river rocks? you've done some really cool stuff with them! I found these on amazon when I was looking for some do you think they would work? https://www.amazon.com/Stones-Massage-Zabrina-Personal-Stones-8/dp/B00XC6N9ES/ref=asc_df_B00XC6N9ES/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=238614861298&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14623535437417985715&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9010922&hvtargid=pla-393414020608&psc=1
I get it at a local hardware store. But here is an Amazon link in case that helps: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001E4AQHS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_4OY1CbRTHZGPB
