Definitions
1
An item you carry that reveals invisible heroes and wards around you, no expiry, no cooldown. The catch: drop dead and you drop the gem, so the enemy can snatch it. Carrying gem makes you a target.
“"Their Riki's useless now, we've got gem on the carry — he can't gank a thing."”

Used as a warning too: if the enemy holds gem, your invis heroes are exposed and you play around it.
“"Careful, they bought gem after that wipe — no sneaky Bounty Hunter rotations till we kill the holder."”
