Both this and Crystfall are lame and parasitic. I skimmed through all the cards with the word "jewel" in it and I didn't see anything that would even remotely prompt me to play either of these cards... Ah, there's Portal Gem, but that looks quite broken on its own (at a hunch I would up that counter requirement from six to at least twelve or so) so I wouldn't bother trying to "combo it" with a 6 CMC "do nothing otherwise" card.
Note that for energy, which is an example of a parasitic mechanic, WotC never once made a card that just produced energy, but didn't also have a way to use it.

i tried to make them les parasitic by removing the
in crystfall, and changing it to creatures (which is what the jewel theme is)
I gave this another ability, so it has a purpose, and i changed the old one so it is differentiable from crystfall
