Here is a tip for red gems on the ps4 console version, not sure about pc. Make sure you have a touch stone activated just in case of death or bugs before you do this. In the summer, wait for the first sign of attacking hounds (sound). Then immediately save and quit. Reload your game and kill the hounds (red hounds have the chance to drop the gems). If no gems drop, immediately close the game, do not save and quit, just completely close the app for don't starve. Reload the game and kill the hounds again. Continue doing this until you get the red gems to drop. Note that each time you reload, the mixture of regular and red hounds will be different and there can either be more or less red hounds. I have been building quite a collection of red gems with this tactic. Obviously works for blue hounds as well and great to save and quit before facing mac tusk to get blue gems to drop.
