The way I see it is that the Gemstone class itself rare: it has a unique breeding requirement, unique habitat and a unique element which can't breed with other elements, all of which would usually make for a rare/epic dragon.

However the individual Gemstone dragons like the Emerald dragon are limited since they are available only for a short period of time.

So basically a rare class with 12 limited dragons, it's a bit like the Rainbow class/element which is a rare class but has the Rainbow dragon as a normal rare dragon and the Leap Year dragon as a limited dragon.
