the part about the gems kind of reminds me of Deltora quest?
THAT'S IT!!!! Thank you so much, you have no idea how much you helped me, i've been looking for the name of that book for 10 years now! The moment i googled the name i recognized the cover, it actually has the knight i mentioned on it!!
glad i could help =D. the moment i read magical colored gems i remembered this from when i was growing up =D. Cant believe i forgot it existed until i read your post.
The main plot of the series is a quest for some magical gems of great power, but that's all i remember about that. My most prominent memory of the book is a part near the end where the main characters end up at a place where a magical lily grows out of a pool of tar. The lily according to stories blooms every 100 years or something along those lines, and when it does it releases a nectar that can heal any disease or injury. The place is guarded by what appears to be some kind of knight in a full suit of armor wielding a huge sword, which our heroes can't seem to defeat, kill or even injure, but luckily for them, when everything seems to be lost the lily blooms and starts releasing it's nectar, but since everyone was busy with the fight they didn't notice right away so most of the nectar was lost to the tar pit that it grows from. Now i'm a little fuzzy on the details but i believe the knight notices what's happening, becomes devastated that he failed his quest and just falls apart revealing an empty suit of armor (or something along those lines). Then the main character who is from what i vaguely remember a young male, manages to save some of the last drops of nectar, and upon inspecting the armor they realize it's empty and that it's wearer basicaly turned to dust a long time ago, the armor held together and moving only by it's wearers "will alone". Now i'm not sure how the book ends but i believe they find one of the gems and that it was amber colored after which they move on looking for the next gem.
