Do you always use the same two dragons to breed? Do you always put the same dragons in the same left and right positions (ie. chrome is always on the left and scorch is always on the right)? Do you keep the dragons the same level or did you level one or both up?

I find that if you always breed the same two dragons together and always breed one in the left position and the other in the right position and NOT leveling them up that I'm far more likely to get the dragon I want after a few tries. I did this method with Emerald and I got two. I didn't do this method with Pearl (ie. used different dragons, switched their left/right positions when breeding, and leveling them up after a few tries) and didn't get one. So I did this method with Ruby and I got it after 5 tries.

Now, I'm not saying this is absolutely how to get a gemstone dragon, this is just my theory after observing my success/failure rates. In any case, I hope you find it useful.
