What are Cursed gems?

WPN Durability DOWN (-58.5-63)
HP continues to decrease -(1-9)
What is the "least bad" or "good" negative effect of cursed blood gems?
The general consensus is that best negative would be:
Increases stamina costs (2.8-3.5) or ATK vs the Kin DOWN (-5.5-12%) for PvE
ATK vs Beasts DOWN (-5.5-12%) or ATK vs the Kin DOWN (-5.5-12%) for PvP
Gems which have "HP continues to decrease" or "ATK DOWN" are pretty much useless.

Blood gems exist in five different shapes which are
Radial which mostly have physical attack effects.
Triangle add attribute bonuses and extra effects (Thrust ATK UP / Add physical ATK for example).
Waning are elemental gems such as fire, bolt, or healing.
Circle are shapes that only fit in your firearms and so are used to fortify firearms.
(This shape is perfect for some negative effects like WPN Durability DOWN, Inc stamina costs)
Droplet blood gems are special gems that adapt to various weapons and shapes, naturally making them highly prized among hunters.
