I disagree - I usually play Druid now without going down the Gemstones track. The alternative, which I find more exciting, is to go down the fairy's track. Timing is crucial, but you can get 60 dust in one turn to buy the first ruby, and once there it's just a matter of time.
I've done this as well. If you figure a 5 hand limit character can easily hold 20, take income of about 20, use 5 sages for 15 or 20, and sell opals for 5 each, sapphires for 10, there's no reason it can't work. Of course, if mirrors are up around this time and/or your draws are poor, you can suffer like few other characters can.
