You have a point Dragon Theology. You know what I noticed, though? Spike gives Rarity's gem away because it probably had the least materialistic value to Spike (for the record I am not trying to counter your arguemtent rather I'm building off of it).

It made me think, perhaps Rarity gave Spike a more valuable gem, its value due to its rareness outweighing the value the other gems had in quantity. Spike, as a dragon, consumes gems, and like food he may uphold quantity over quality (or vice-versa, depends on wheter one prefers fancy food, or alot of food). So, Rarity may have given Spike an extremely valuable rare gem (which exemplifies her generosity), but its small size deemed it the least valuable materialistically to Spike, hence him giving it to the CMC.
