Precious Gems would be 4 new ores that spawn in the Nether, near the top. They are as rare as Emeralds, and come in single blocks. They can be put into armor, like this:
Where iron is the main material, and diamonds are the gems. This only works with Iron, Gold, and Diamond armor. When wearing a full set of armor with the same gem in it, you get a long-lasting potion effect. There are 4 types of Gems, Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz, and Amethyst. They give the following potion effects:
Ruby: Fire Resistance
Sapphire: Water Breathing
Topaz: Strength
Amethyst: Speed
But anyway, why not have it have a cooldown and a drawback like:
If you have the Fire Resistance power on the gemmed armor, then you are invincible to fire. But stay too long and you are twice as vulnerable to fire now until the gem can cool down.
If you have Water Breathing, you can breath underwater without needing to surface but stay underwater too long, and your air meter will start to deplete twice as fast, and drowning damage will kill you twice as fast.

So, I hope you like my idea!
I go by AquaBuzzardHR on my YouTube Channel. Link here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyrxj072mhHlrhiv6RoZcWw
It is a channel about building and being creative, currently playing on the Lake Laogai SMP.
Support. I like the specific goodies on the armor.
These would be pretty rare though, right? Diamond rare? This would be pretty powerful
How does this relate to the suggestion?
Why not?
To the suggestion, I like it. No water breathing, as that's already an enchantment.
If any of you will disagree with what I just said, then...
False. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1701853-emerald-enhanced-tools-and-armor-with-concept-art/
It is not locked and has many supports.
