1:
start at lv 3 costs 1 gem to remove. (so people know the penalty starts)
lv 4 --- 10 gems
lv 5 --- 20 gems
lv 6 --- 50 gems
lv 7 and up --- 100 gems

2:
use the same gem cost for removal protection...
sooo if you want to remove a gem it is free but it it will break (a lv 4 becomes 3 * lv 3 gems)
costs of protection is (you get the gem back) 100 gems
or use the costs above for gem protection...
Or we could just do away with the removal costs altogether which would actually make logical sense. Getting chips is hard enough. We don't need arbitrary costs tacked onto that as a money grab. It just takes a player completely out of the game when crap like this happens.
