They should add plenty of new ways to use gems.. really.. It's a rare drop ( like 12 % from Blue Hounds that spawn only during winter ), the items you can make with it are terrible and not useful at all, since they have such a low durability ( 6 minutes Blue Amulet ftw ) with no way to repair them. It should either become a common drop so that players can create plenty of useless Ice Staffs and Chilling Amulets more easily, or made more usefull by introducing more ways to craft with it. For example you could enchant your weapon so your spear would also have freezing effect or something, at the same time requiring a magic altar / new Science Tier. For now blue gem looks way better than it works.
