There is no mechanics page for this set, so "Fabulosity {4}" is empty text.

It makes the card more fabulous, darling.

From the designers blog, that really is what it does:

If this artifact isn't fabulous, put a gem counter on it and it becomes fabulous.

So it's pretty much a "this costs more, split the cost over two casts" kind of mechanic.

Specifically, here's the blog post where the designer explained this mechanic. And yes, it represents making things more fabulous, darling. Rarity turned this basic metal detector into the gem-encrusted thing you see here... for no reason except because she could.

I like that this can be used without getting to 4 mana, or while you need to be making stuff to affect the board, just to do your scrying. But once you can take a turn off to add the gems, then you start finding treasures which can help you cast bigger stuff.
