Wht do the gems in checkpoints mean?

[Kill Bastard]

Sometimes a checkpoint will have like a blue or golden gem instead of the small grey one. Is it significant in any way?

When you attack a checkpiont it well break after a couple of hits.When you break them they drop the gem they have inside and the checkpiont is no longer to can be use until you get out of the level.It's a risk vs reward to get more money.

You can break checkpoints.

The gem in the checkpoint is supposed to indicate how difficult the next segment is. The better the gem, the harder it's supposed to be.
