A gem is sometimes so brilliant that it appears to not merely refract the available light, but to add to the light — possibly to an altogether ridiculous degree, if Played for Laughs. Or it actually emits light somehow.
Subtrope of Fantastic Light Source. It can sometimes overlap with Power Crystal via Power Glows.
If it occurs that way naturally, see All-Natural Gem Polish. Frequently are the crown jewel in a Magical Accessory.

The One Ring: Gemstones filled with "flaming light" were created with Elf magic in a bygone Age rather than being mined. They occasionally show up in treasure hoards as artifacts with supernatural abilities or as simple ornamentation.

In The Silmarillion, the three Silmaril gems were made from the light of the two towering trees that used to light the world before the time of the moon and sun, causing the gems to glow perpetually. The light is so pure that the gems burn any evil being that touches them. One of the gems was eventually made into a star (implied to be the planet Venus; see here). The word "silmaril" means "silver radiance" in Quenya.

Splinter of the Mind's Eye: The small fragment of the Kaiburr Crystal has a crimson hue deeper and richer than a ruby and a vitreous luster resembling crystallized honey. It also glows softly. The whole Kaiburr Crystal (of which the fragment is but a part) gives off a dimly pulsing light when inactive. When activated by a Force user it shines with an unnatural brilliance and its glow spreads to cover the person using it.

In Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp, Aladdin (played by Popeye) asks the genie of the lamp to deliver a chest of gold and jewels to the princess (played by Olive Oyl). The contents include several head-sized gemstones that bathe the room in colored light, including a diamond that is so brilliant the princess needs sunglasses to look at it — and her window turns it into a spotlight to illuminate Aladdin posing outside on his horse.

Tolkien's Legendarium:
In The Silmarillion, the three Silmaril gems were made from the light of the two towering trees that used to light the world before the time of the moon and sun, causing the gems to glow perpetually. The light is so pure that the gems burn any evil being that touches them. One of the gems was eventually made into a star (implied to be the planet Venus; see here). The word "silmaril" means "silver radiance" in Quenya.
In The Hobbit the Arkenstone of Thráin (a.k.a. the Heart of the Mountain) is described as shining with its own inner light. Some Fanon holds that it is one of the previously mentioned Silmarils, others have proposed that it was an attempt to recreate a Silmaril by Celebrimbor (grandson of the original creator, Fëanor).
Galadriel's vial contains water touched by the light of Eärendil, the star made from a Silmaril. It functions identically to a Silmaril, producing holy light which burns evil creatures, although only when Eärendil's name is invoked. It could be called a fourth Silmaril, although the text doesn't actually refer to it that way.

Exalted:
A number of rocks found in the South are notable for glowing naturally, in addition to other properties. Firegems only give off a dim light, but also produce intense heat. Glowstones are otherwise regular rocks that shine with red or orange light (white and yellow variants also exist, but are rarer) for up to twenty years after extraction; small ones shine as bright as a torch, while large ones can make a room as brightly lit as if it was exposed to an overcast sun.
The underground city of Gethamane is lit by purple crystals that emit a strong white light. They dim and brighten in time with the day/night cycle, and their light is permanently extinguished if they're taken from their bases.

Dungeons & Dragons:
The following magical gems in 1st/2nd Edition glowed either on command or continuously: Gem of Brightness, Gem of Delusion, Jewel of Obsession, the Jacinth of Inestimable Beauty, the huge glowing orange Cursed Wishing gem in S1 Tomb of Horrors and the magical ruby called the Eye of Arik in B3 Palace of the Silver Princess.
A number of early edition adventures included gems with a Continual Light spell cast upon them to make them glow, such as T1-4 The Temple of Elemental Evil, I12 Egg of the Phoenix, and the Dungeon magazine #50 adventure "The Object of Desire". Continual Light creates a white light; if the gem is colored, the light it gives off will be the same color as the gem.
In Module I5, Lost Tomb of Martek, when one of the Star Gems is placed in the hollow below the writings on the Obelisk Stone, the Gem starts to glow with a soft white light. When it's pointed in the direction of Martek's tomb it will flare up with a brilliant white light.
Clerics of the gnome deity Segojan Earthcaller cast Light or Continual Light spells on large, well-cut gems for use as holy symbols, causing them to glow from within.
Judges Guild:
In the adventure Escape from Astigar's Lair, the Player Characters will encounter a statue of Egad, the archvillain who imprisoned them in the lair. On the pedestal which holds the statue is a huge, flawless glowing ruby. If a Player Character touches the ruby, the statue will animate and attack the PCs.
In the adventure The Treasure Vaults of Lindoran, the dungeon holds seven wands, each tipped with a magical gem that has a soft glow.
In the adventure Dark Tower, the three Soul Gems are magical glowing crystals. The Heart of Law is colorless, the Soul of Chaos is black, and the Mind of Balance scintillates with all of the colors of the rainbow.

In "The Cave of Two Lovers", the way out of the tunnels is lit by glowing gems embedded in the ceiling, which only shiny in otherwise absolute darkness.
The Underground City of Old Ba Sing Se, which has been buried underneath the modern one, is constantly lit by the glowing green crystals also used as lamps throughout the Earth Kingdom.
In "The Firebending Masters", Aang gives Zuko some valuable advice: never touch "giant, glowing gems sitting on pedestals".

Call of Cthulhu:
In the adventure "Pickman's Student" from the Dreamlands campaign setting, while exploring the dream version of Elder Yuggoth, the Player Characters can encounter 4 dully glowing green gems that some Mi-go are using to restrain a Dark Young of Shub-Niggurath. Later on, the PCs see one of the Mi-go sacrifice the Dark Young with a knife that has a blade made of the glowing gemstone.
In the campaign Spawn of Azathoth, the Investigators can acquire two stones that are necessary to deal with the Seed of Azathoth. At the climax of the adventure, the stones become strange fist-sized, glowing ovoid gems that increase greatly in weight.
In the adventure "The Secret of Castronegro" from the supplement Fragments of Fear, the sorcerer Bernardo Diaz has a magical ruby ring which glows brightly whenever it heals damage he's taken. The ring will also glow the first time it is put on someone else's finger.

In the Tales of Kolmar trilogy, dragons' soulgems gleam with an inner light when they are alive. When dead, the gem shrinks and becomes dull, but it will glow again during a Kin-Summoning. The soulgems of the Lost — the dragons who were cursed to lose their sentience — still glow, unattached to the dragon, thousands of years later, so the others know that the Lost are still "alive" somewhere out there.

Pokémon:
Staryu and Starmie are starfish Pokémon that have gems on their bodies. These gems flash as a form of communication and to show when it has taken too much damage, particularly in the anime.
Power Gem is a rock move that uses the gemstone's glow as an attack. Naturally, Staryu and Starmie are able to learn it as can other Pokémon that have gems on their bodies, such as Sableye, Persian, Grumpig, and Probopass. Notably, it's one of few Rock-type attacks that aren't physical, and one of very few attacks of the type that have 100% base accuracy.

In The Affix, the probability-smashing gem appears to be a piece of smoky quartz, approximately quarter-sized, with 11-sided symmetry. Then it starts glowing at night, a sign that it's "awake", and the color changes throughout the book as its power waxes and events spiral out of control. On one occasion it takes Matt and his friends by surprise when it suddenly flares up at sundown.

Magic: The Gathering:
The art for Prophetic Prism (which provides the trope picture, at least in its Gatecrash incarnation) and Chromatic Star depicts these artifact gems as emitting rainbow light. It's Justified in that they are Mana-altering artifacts, capable of turning energy into death, holy or elemental Mana, which is almost always depicted on cards as bright white/gold, black, red, green or blue light.
The plane of Ikoria is filled with magical crystals, some the size of small mountains, which glow when the plane's giant monsters come near them. Humanity has learned to use them as early warning systems — as long as the gems are inert, things are... mostly safe; when they start shining, it's time to grab your weapons.

Glowing gems are visible signs of Deryni power:
The gryphon-shaped emerald inlay of Morgan's signet ring glows against the black onyx background when the ring is magically attuned to the Deryni mage holding it. Properly attuned to Duncan in Deryni Rising, it allows him to unlock a secret compartment in the high altar of Saint Hilary's Basilica in Rhemuth.
The gems used in the Haldanes' power triggering ritual glow internally when a drop of blood from the next heir(s) comes in contact with the stones. This is true for both the Eye of Rom (a single red ruby mounted as an earring) and the Ring of Fire (a ring with red garnets set in a cluster).
Shiral crystals also glow when a Deryni or someone with a triggerable potential concentrates sufficiently.

Minecraft: Amethyst crystals emit light. Although their output isn't especially high compared to other light-emitting items, full-sized ones are still noticeably brighter than candles.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
In "The Crystalling", Sunburst's home has a cluster of orange gems hanging from a chain attached to the ceiling, which give off enough light to serve as a ceiling lamp. Similar crystals appear in fireplaces instead of conventional fires in "A Hearth's Warming Tale" and in "A Health of Information", where Meadowbrook and her mother use them to heat their cauldron.
In "Rock Solid Friendship", the lush underground cave the characters stumble into is kept lit by a cluster of enormous, glowing crystals on its ceiling, as well as a number of smaller glowing gems studded in its walls.
In "Dragon Dropped", Applejack uses a jar holding a few glowing crystals and hanging from a pole tied to her hat as a lamp while helping Rarity mine gems.

Sherlock Holmes: In "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle", the titular gemstone is described as "a brilliantly scintillating blue stone, rather smaller than a bean in size, but of such purity and radiance that it twinkled like an electric point".

In The Hobbit the Arkenstone of Thráin (a.k.a. the Heart of the Mountain) is described as shining with its own inner light. Some Fanon holds that it is one of the previously mentioned Silmarils, others have proposed that it was an attempt to recreate a Silmaril by Celebrimbor (grandson of the original creator, Fëanor).
