Practically, yes. Technically, no. The bit that makes treasures potentially infinite is that the table for gem size is open-ended. If you get a jeweled item, it is possible, albeit astronomically unlikely, that you can roll an infinite number of "bigger" results, so the gem in question keeps getting bigger and bigger.

It is assumed that the GM, confronted with a long string of "bigger" results, will exercise judgment and either examine the dice for tampering and say "screw this, it's worth a lot, let's move on."
