[RPG] Lufia - think back... ok, now help

[Clayeth]

Yeah, so I was looking around for some old console games to play and I ran across Lufia. I remember playing Lufia 2, but for whatever reason I never played the first one.

Anyway, I'm kind of stuck and was hoping someone might have an idea what I need to do, or know where I could find out what I've done wrong.

Ok, here's the deal. I'm at the blue/green/red tower thing to get to Elfrea, and have already found and replaced the blue and green gems, in the correct order. I also found the broken red gem. I know I need to get the real Hope Ruby (red gem) from the Medea mine, but the old man just tells me that he found it. When I try to enter his treasure room he tells me to leave it alone, and if I try to open the door it says it's locked.

I even tried to look for some help online, but the only thing it says you have to do, is to have found the broken gem and talk to a jewler in another town, that explains that Rubys are the same thing as Red Emeralds (or something like that). I've done all of that, and can't think of anything else I would need to do.

If anyone can help, . That old bastard is pissing me off

that's the sequel. And I've seen tons of walkthroughs, but I was hoping someone had run into the same problem and knew what little detail I've missed.
