I recently came up with a theory that the gem is meant to represent Asgard.

If you look at the map of the Nine Realms, which Thor draws in Thor, Thor outlines the planets with Yggdrasil. On the map, Asgard is at the top of Yggdrasil.

If you look at Heimdall’s armor in Thor: The Dark World, the Yggdrasil is depicted. And, about where Heimdall’s gem is, is where Asgard is located on the map of the Nine Realms.

Additionally, if you look at the Yggdrasil design at the beginning of Captain America: The First Avenger, Asgard is depicted at the top of the tree, about where Heimdall’s gem is.
