If you get the gem before visiting Red, Yangus and the party will not present her with it until you leave [[Red's House]] and return to it.  Storywise, Yangus explains to the party that in order for them to get Medea back, Red must believe that they obtained the gem for her benefit rather than lucking upon it.{{spoiler|end}}
