Ohhh, yes they are.

Individual sites are terrain linked - the most obvious cases being the underwater sites, as a gorge of glowing fish in the middle of an arid mountainous desert woule be really weird. Almost as weird as some of the Myst game settings.

But Gem types are not particularly terrain linked, which seems to be the thrust of Norfleet's comment. If I've understood correctly, that is.

You don't only find Nature gems in forests, fire gems in deserts and water gems underwater. There might be a slight bias - if there are a lot of Swamp-only death-gem producing sites, then you might get proportionally more death gems than other gems in swamps, but it is probably not a very strong effect.

I think it's pretty nifty that there's such a number of sites that produces other kinds gems then the magic required to find them. Like a watersite that only produces firegems.
