The netizens have spoken. Here are some of their suggestions of what the gem we found might be. Mind you that these were certainly not merely taken from pages 155-164 of the first edition Dungeon Masters Guide.
The Crystal of Inestimable Beauty - Said to be the finest star sapphire to ever be mined from the ice mountains of Cannes-Deigh. No one has yet been able to estimate it's beauty, but its powers have been guessed at. They could include ESP 40', Levitatation 3 times per day, and the ability to summon ice elementals and ice weasels. The user of this crystal might grow 1/16 of an inch taller each time they use its powers. Then again... who knows.
The Mad Bling of Al'Akbar - Pried from the Pimp Cup of Al'Akbar this gemizzle brings madness to all who be havin' it. It perpetrates Polymorph self and others once a day. However, all effected must assume the same forms. It can resurrect oldschool homies who have been dead over 10 years. The Mad Bling can cause Planar Shift 3 times a week. It also allows the user to call forth a meteor swarm one per day. Face it, this object is the shiznit!
Gem of the Great Serpent - This gem allows you to control one adult dragon (children under 175 years must be accompanied by an adult). The weilder of this gem can also cure disease at a touch and transmute rock to mud. However this gem ages all elves and gnomes within 50' by 20 years. Sucks to be them.
Jewel of Gygax - Removed from The Ring of Gygax by a jeweler of totally alien origin, each facet of this gem has a different effect, only a few of which are known. These power include color spray, stone to flesh, phantasmal killer, 9 die lightning bolt, and web. The down side? There is a 10% chance the users hair will turn white or go blind for 2d6 weeks.
The Sapphire of the Infinite Planes - It the distant past the High Wizard Priest of Wor (now sunken beneath the waters At Eiry) discovered this sapphire and used its powers to dominate an infinite number of mazes and arenas. This blue pixel allows the user to summon Burwors, Garwors, Thorwors and the mighty Worluk. The Sapphire also creates up to 6 gallons of water per day and can charm animals 30'.
The Left Nut of Vecna - Seldom is the name of the arch-lich Vecna spoken except in hushed tones, but rumors say he would have given his left nut for everlasting immorality. Even though the gods were pretty sure it was a typo they granted him his wish. Now the family jewel brings only woe to the accused holders of the nut. All saves are at -2. Holy water with 15' becomes polluted. User loses 4 point of wisdom permanently and becomes a mindless zombie guardian of this cruel artifact.
