You can go scarcer than Perfect Gems I think. All you'd have to do change the recipe to regular grade gems. ;)
Chips are easy to get - just zip around Act 1 Normal and collect what falls. Regular gems fall sparingly around the end of Normal and Act 1 Nightmare and otherwise would need to be cubed into existence. By contrast perfect gems never drop (aside from one quest), but nearly two thirds of the game is dominated by flawless gems and cubing them up is a snap.
