Considering the stadium gives 2-5 gems a day. I almost wonder what is the point of making a dragon that gives only 4/5 month.

2-5 * 30 = about 60-150/crystals month stadium.

4/5 month x 12 (if you get every gemstone) = 48-60crystals/month. It helps I guess, but the stadium and purchasing crystals still seems like the best way to get crystals.

The gemstone island seems more novelty than anything else... :-/

I guess at the current rate it takes closer to 7 months to save up enough to upgrade the ebi. If you had 12 gem dragons. And then another about 3 months to upgrade the regular bc. So if you are lucky enough to get 12 emerald dragons in the month of may or 12 gem dragons in the coming months you're only looking at only 10 months of saving gems. But assuming one doesn't have all 12 gem dragons going, it's just added months of needing to save. And if you spend any gems to speed up a wait time or try for a new dragon, that's more months of saving added on.

Maybe they could introduce something along the lines of 1 gem dragon makes 6 crystals/week. 2 gem dragons make 3 crystals/week. 3 gem dragons make 2.3 crystals/week. 4 gem dragons 1.75 crystals/week. 5 gem dragons make 1.6 crystals/week. 6 gem dragon make 1.3 crystals/week. 7 gem dragons 1.3 crystals/week. 8 gem dragons make 1.125 crystals/week. 9 gem dragons make 1.1 crystals/week. 10-12 make 1 crystal/week.

so then you'd be at (1) 6/week (2) 6/week (3) 7/week (4) 7/week (5) 8/week (6) 8/week (7) 9/week (8) 9/week (9) 10/week (10) 10/week (11) 11/week (12) 12/week.

That way it would help while you start at with only a few gem dragons at 1/2 gem dragons making about 24 crystals/month. 3/4 gem dragons making about 28 crystals/month. 5/6 gem dragons making about 32 crystals/month. 7/8 gem dragons making about 36 crystals/month. 9/10 gem dragons making about 40 crystals/month. 11 gem dragons making about 44 crystals/month. And finally all 12 gem dragons making 48 crystals / month.

This doesn't necessarily change or hurt the economy. It just gives a little extra boost at the lower number of gem dragons to help the saving gems process overall.
