Dragon Gems were precious jewels that could summon Dragons.
History
By 1386, one Dragon Gem was in the possession of the Pumpkin Witch Wartilda and another was owned by Zarok the Sorcerer. The Pumpkin Witch gave her gem to Sir Dan as a reward for defeating the Pumpkin King. Zarok left his gem in the Town Mayor's cell inside the Asylum, who was happy for Dan to take it.
Subsequently, Dan used both gems to summon the dragon in the Crystal Caves.
Gameplay
The two Dragon Gems are required in order to progress past the Dragon Gate in the Gallows Gauntlet (without abusing glitches). The Dragon Armour needed to get past the gate can only be obtained by defeating the dragon, who can only be summoned using the gems.
To collect the gem owned by the Pumpkin Witch, Dan needs to have the Witch Talisman from Cemetery Hill. Without it, it is impossible to summon the witch. The witch has to be spoken to after the Pumpkin King has been defeated to claim the gem.
Obtaining the gem from inside the Asylum is more straightforward as no prerequisite items are needed; Dan simply needs to reach the final room with the Town Mayor's cell.
Behind the scenes
Development
The gems were a later addition to the game as they did not exist in early versions like the MediEvil Rolling Demo or the MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha.
An unused book in The Sleeping Village would have explained how the Town Mayor acquired a Dragon Gem:

The book was likely removed because, in the final game, the Town Mayor's dialogue implies that the gem was left behind by Zarok:
