I was about to say "this is stupid" but it's not a consistant answer. Really, I don't understand : You have to collect 24 gems to obtain this perk, it's not that it make the game too easy, it's more that you put an long time effort on this and you're rewarded. This gems count as extra weight in your inventory and you have to visit 24 places to collect them so it's not really a gift.

Of course the best thing is probably to sell them. If you want to do something with these gems, like Quick-Thief said do a pile in a room. It's visually not bad at all. If you just want to forget about them, put them in a barrel or a chest.
