Yes! Got a Ruby on the 4th try. Kinda makes up for my 80+ tries for Pearl and I didn't even breed one.

Here's what I bred: lvl 10 Chrome left / lvl 11 Scorch in NBC. (no epic breeding island for me - waste of gems I think)

I think my mistake in breeding a Pearl was that I leveled up one of the dragons after 10 or so tries and I switched their positions (left and right) often and used different dragons. When I bred my two emeralds I kept my Crystal and Lichen the same levels they were already at and always bred Crystal on the left and Lichen on the right. So for the Ruby I figured I'd do what I did the first time around: left the dragons at the level they already were at and always put Chrome on the left and Scorch on the right. Boom, 4th try (got a scorch first, then firework, chrome, Ruby).

Sorry this is TL;DR but I hope this method helps some people get their gemstone dragons!
