Clearing Hell Act III has a lot of monsters.
Especially in the keep basement and the area before Seigebreaker.
Once you get some upgrades and it's not a first play-through, you can kill those parts of Act III pretty rapidly for some solid gold gain, especially with some gold find gear. I'd guess you could net up to 500k an hour depending on your gearing and killing efficiency. People were already doing this in nightmare at about that rate, but supposedly the gold drops in Nightmare difficulty are a little lower now, more like 200-250k range per hour.
The high gems were intended to be something you could eventually get with a lot of time and effort invested. That puts them at requiring 30-40 dedicated hours of concentrated effort per fully upgraded gem.
