Sapphires can technically drop from "any" creature (unconfirmed). Only one I have ever seen drop as you described was from a Warden during the Arborstone Mission. The Drop Rate is exceptionally low, and most players will likely never see one drop.

Gemstones are like dyes, then can be dropped by practically anything. Low droprates though.

i took a screenie but not really sure how to uplaod the pics
Mr. G
It's not that rare ^^
It's generally known it happens, but like black dye some people get loads - some get none

i dont know if im just lucky or if anyone has had a similar experience...but farming elementals outside Sardelac i get sapphs/rubys more often than i should. Anyone else seeing this in that area? and yes Wardens have been known to drop them on rare occasions
Mr. G
Everything can drop them, but something do seem to have higher droprates - Djinn and other elementals are confirmed to have a higher droprate iirc. I believe smites might also have a better rate, but thats just my opinion.

I got a Ruby from a Fire Imp during the mission where you meet Oink. I think that is a little more common than the Sapphire though.

According to the WIKI anything does NOT drop them. It is not like Black Dye at all other than it is a "rare drop". Only certain foes will drop the Emeralds and you killed one of them that did.
Please Check the WIKI. It has been around for a long time now and is a great resource.
That said Rare is right. I have been playing for 2 years and got my first one as a drop last night killing the Hulking stones solo in Hard Mode with my war trying to get enough granite to buy the destroyer weapons for my hall - Account Based WOOT!!! They do not heal themselves. The one boss does but with the sniper support and a timely headbutt killing it is not that hard.
After it dropped I looked on the wiki to see what the heck it was used for. Vambian armor is the only thing that came up. I checked the Rare Mats and it is worth 3,800 Gold! Nice little drop!
A stack of them would be oh so pretty....

I know one of my chars gets lots of Charcoal drops from fire imps outside Lions arch

Anything can drop them, higher rates for elementals, and you can salvage them from Iridescent aegis, Jeweled daggers, and sapphire djinn essences. You can also get them from UW/FoW end chests, and hidden treasures in dungeons.

Please read my post above. Not every creature drops them in Hard Mode.

There's a WIDE variety of creatures that can drop them, spread around all or almost all regions of the game, some have better chances than others, but the VAST MAJORITY of all mobs CANNOT drop them at all.
Wikis are a pretty bad source of information about drops, I've seen a lot of info which is completely wrong out there and the amounts of information regarding drops that is missing make them very unreliable.

The conventional wisdom regarding rubies and sapphires is that they can drop from any enemy who also drops other materials. It doesn't matter if it's charcoal or plant fibers; as long as they drop something, you might get a ruby.

I've gotten rubies and sapphires from virtually everything in the game...elementals or not. Wiki isn't 100% truth.

Saph's worth more than diamonds = broken economy, no wait, is it rubies I'm thinking of?
Crowning glory in doing a dingeon in HM, is getting 2 onyx gemstones for your trouble, makes you feel special that you've not just wasted the last 2-3 hours of your life lol

My experience is it can be dropped anywhere but higher level foes have higher chance.
I've had rubies and sapphires from low level (read has low as level 2) enemies too.
The drop rate is so small though, that is probably impossible to say if a certain mob can't drop it.
By emeralds I guess you mean gems and according to wiki "Can very rarely be dropped from every creature that can drop crafting materials, most commonly in the Underworld, and the Fissure of Woe." and goes for sapphires, rubies and diamonds.

Saying "I didn't get any rubies and I've been playing for 4 years" means nothing if your total /age is 10 hours 
I don't remember any strange creature dropping a sapphire, although I saw as many as 4 in one FoW HM run (full human party, and none for me
), from various enemies, and I got several rubies from farming Elementals in Old Ascalon.
