>How do you know what is conservative for blessing and what isn't?<

By the silver value of the gem (not gemshop appraised value, but character appraised value -- if the character is well trained in trading -- or loresung appraised value).

Any gem worth less that 1500 silvers will generally hold only 15 mana.
Any gem between about 1500 and 3000 silvers will generally hold 20 mana.
Any gem between about 3000 and 4500 silvers will generally hold 30 mana.
Any gem between about 4500 silvers and 6000 silvers will generally hold 40 mana.
Any gem between about 6000 silvers and 7500 silvers will generally hold 50 mana.
Any gem above 7500 silvers in value will generally hold 60 mana.

These are rough estimates of course, but seem to hold true as an overall rule of thumb.

Still, because a gem might hold 60 mana doesn't mean your character can necessarily use all 60 mana capacity, much the same as I have noticed with imbedding.

Maybe that was just ill luck or something, but I'm pretty sure (can't be positive unless a GM says one way or another) that gems cap out at 60 mana.

There is no hard cap.
