I saw it at Origins and wasn't terribly impressed with it. It looks ok, but the new card face and DCI logo makes it look pretty shitty in my opinion. I prefer my Japanese ones. I have Japanese dice to put on them, and the synergy of Japanese Gemstones and Japanese dice is just too much. Anyone who saw it can confirm just how amazing it is.
I have to agree with the logo etc, the new face and the crappy, tacky DCI smack bang in the middle really makes it loose some of its appeal. Although I hate Japanese letters, the numbers are the most insane I have ever seen, I'll be keeping my German playset of Gemstone mines for the moment.
