I have this, and that I don't
this will run, and that just won't
this will gel and that won't gem
wine to what! Fill to brim!

know you what? this OR that?
if this you know, you know that!

'nuck, good guess, but:

that ain't this, but this part that!
and no part opal, and not glass.
But your guess is not in vein -
elimination is such a pain!
read my riddle once, nay twice!
if no luck, then read thrice!

Ok, to break down the clues:

This and that = two elements in the gem
This will gel = water or perhaps silicone
That won't gem = could be anything but carbon
Wine to what = water (see clue two)

Know you what? this OR that?
If this you know, you know that! = One of the two elements only occurs in one type of gem.

This i have in vane tried = is found in veins (and Ux4 makes spelling mistakes)
This to that I have lead = may contain lead (may not mean anything)
-such an effort, my face red. = is red or has a red streak

Even though it doesn't fit clue number two which should be water, I'm going to say Hematite.

this is that, and that is this -
quite a nice analysis
and hemetite it IS
said you "bloodstone", your're a whiz!
For blood DOES course a vein,
spelling hints, ain't your thing.
at Communion time wine does turn
not to water in my urn!
How you got there is a mess!
But congrats, you passed the test!

All were hints - great ones, too
not my fault to misconstrue!
fire at me if you if you will.
dodging is, you know, my skill!

You can also probably assume that I've never been to Communion either ;)
