One problem is how DR and gemstones work is a little awkward. Hardness doesn't really tell you that much (glass has a hardness of 5.5 to 7 Mohs but it is far easier to shatter then Black Opal which is in the 5.5 to 6.5 range)

Moreover does knocking off a piece count as "destroying" a gem as far as enchantments go? This is one of those areas where things get a little squirrelly.
