Seeing as increased damage vs. specific monster types is possible, how about some new gems to incorporate this? Say...

Dragonstone - +30% Damage Vs. Dragons
Sunstone - +30% Damage Vs. Undead
Orcstone - +30% Damage Vs. Orcs
(Better names welcome)

Dragonstones and sunstones could drop relatively early, before you're flooded with +5 stat and +10% resist gems, and so you can get some use out of them in the western dungeons (Daikara, Dreadfell). The orcstone would have to be significantly rarer/more valuable, seeing the use it would get later on.

As alchemist gem bombs, they could simply deal double damage against their respective monster types (maybe +50% in the case of orcs).
