#ALL WHITE GEMS SERIAL NUMBER#
Individuality is a rare concept among Gems, as there is evidently little to differentiate Gems (aside from gemstone type) other than a serial number based on facet and cut. In " The Return", Jasper showed that she had known of Rose Quartz before the events of the episode and, due to Steven having inherited his mother's gemstone, she instantly thinks he is his mother shape-shifted into a weak, human boy which confuses and infuriates her. The Gems are not only named after their gemstone but are also recognized by other Gems by it. A corrupted gemstone also powered the mechanical apparatus in the Pyramid Temple in " Serious Steven".Īs one would expect, the gemstone of each Gem is a core aspect of Gem culture. They are used as power sources for various objects such as Lapis' gemstone being used to power the magical mirror in " Mirror Gem". Gemstones also find use in Gem technology. Gem bubbles have a stasis-like effect on gemstones when "bubbled" by another Gem, the gemstone is prevented from regenerating/manifesting its physical body or weapon, essentially being imprisoned indefinitely until the bubble bursts. Pearl, Garnet, Peridot and Spinel have the ability to store and withdraw objects (such as a roll of tape, temple key, EMP device or a Gem Rejuvenator respectively) in their gemstone, but it is currently unknown if that ability is unique to them or if all Gems share it. Gems can manifest things from within their gemstone, with the most important being their personal weapons and their physical bodies. Other gemstones (like Peridot's and Spinel's) don't have said rings. Some rings don't follow the gemstone's color palette (like Pearl's light-blue ring). Some gemstones (like Pearl's and Amethyst's) have rings that go around the edge or middle of the gem. However, they can be oriented differently, as with Pink Diamond shifting her abdominally-located gemstone from a lateral to a dorso-ventral position as Rose Quartz, or Spinel flipping her gem upside down upon her second regeneration.
Gemstones are generally locked in a specific location on the Gem's construct body, with even fusions maintaining the gemstones that compose them in the same anatomy. Gems of the same gemstone can have different summoned weapons. Most Gems of the same gemstone will have the same cut to their gemstone however, some Gems (such as the Diamonds, Pearls, Jasper and one of the Zoo Amethysts) are exceptions to this. Gemstone placement appears to vary from Gem to Gem, even if they are of the same gemstone. Multiple Gems with the same gemstone may exist. If the participants of the fusion are the same Gem type, the resulting fusion is just a larger version of the Gem. Shattering a Gemstone effectively kills the Gem (although it retains some properties, such as the Gem Shards in " Frybo" and " Secret Team", the Smoke Monster in " Together Breakfast" and all the gem shards they have encountered).ĭuring Gem Fusion, all participants' gemstones shift colors to match each other. In " Bubbled", "Eyeball"'s gemstone is cracked, resulting in her hand manifesting and unmanifesting several times. It may also interfere with the physical form itself.

It also interferes with their ability to manifest/control their physical bodies as Amethyst lost more and more control of hers as her gemstone is continuously cracked in " An Indirect Kiss". It can interfere with their powers, as Lapis Lazuli is unable to summon her water wings while her gemstone is cracked in " Ocean Gem".
In contrast, any slight damage to the gemstone, such as a crack, results in a serious and often crippling injury to the Gem.
All the Crystal Gems besides Steven have been shown to regenerate. Garnet states in " Steven the Sword Fighter" that if the physical body (which is just an "illusion" made of light with mass) of a Gem is severely damaged or injured, it retreats to its gemstone to regenerate and project a new body form. According to Pearl in " What Are Gems?", their physical bodies are merely a hologram with mass from within the gemstone, much like their weapons and outfits. The gemstones are, in essence, the Gem's core.
