It's on the ground from the flawless amethyst you had in your inventory. It takes the gem from your inventory and upgrades it and puts it on the ground
it is not. it was the only gem in my inventory. i took it out from stash trying to get upgraded rubies, and got a p amethyst.

Sure, all these years, on different systems, installs and patches, your gem shrines have magically worked differently to everyone else who has ever played...
That's now how computer systems and data look up tables work, unless they are modified or corrupt. You may even be installing from a corrupt copy with compromised data mpq files. Try it on Battlenet and you will see it working properly, so it's definitely a problem with your installation.
The most likely scenario is you don't realise it's working properly and aren't paying attention to which gem is being replaced with an upgraded version.
i'll be back with a before/after post after i find a shrine
