Just like any other habitat, when the habitat has reached its max capacity it stops filling. Again another calculation: 1 normal gem habitat, max capacity 3 gems, filled with 3 lvl 10 dragons. every 56 hours a gem is produced, so after (3*56 hours) a week the habitat is full and will not accumulate more gems until you empty it. 4 gems max capacity, 4 lvl10 dragons. 1 gem is produced in 42 hours, so after (4*42 hours) again 1 week the habitat is full. With a fully upgraded gem habitat with 5 lvl10 dragons it is also a week to collect 5 gems as a max. By the way I am talking about lvl10 dragons that are not Jade, because then it would take longer to fill to max capacity. With three normal lvl10 and a lvl10 Jade it take about 55 hours to produce 1 gem, so after about 9 days your 4 gems are produced.

So, no your produced gem will not disappear when the timer starts to count down again. I usually check the gem habitats for gems when waiting for the Colosseum to finish.
