With the removal of diamonds, very few gems exist in the mod, mostly fictional ones like quendite and naurite. I think gems would make a good addition to the mod, maybe for making decorated equipment or other items. Why not add rubies, sapphires, re-add emeralds and diamonds, and maybe add semi-precious stones like garnets, opals, etc. Decorated drinking vessels, armour, weapons, and maybe shiny gem-encrusted blocks could add some more beauty to the mod, especially for the dwarves of course. The ores could be very rare and gems could be something valuable to trade. Maybe add diamonds but make them a different, middle-earth diamond that couldn't be made into equipment.
