Continuing our ongoing gem series, today we’re putting the spotlight on three different Homeworld gems. As always, we’ll be examining some of the specific gems’ histories, personalities, powers, and see if the real world stones they get their names from had any potential impact on their design and characterization.

Notice how Yellow Diamonds song “What’s The Use Of Feeling Blue?” has the line “An Agate terrifies”. Now remember when Amethyst attacked Jasper with a whip at first, you could see a look of surprise and maybe fear cross her face before she gathered herself. Also, looking at Peridot’s reaction when Steven rolled up a towel to resemble a whip of sorts? I love how this series has little tid bits like that.

[It saddens me that Lemon Jade has only appeared once, and never came back later...]
-
a fun fact about real life lemon jade: it’s not actually a type of jade (jadeite or nephrite), but it’s a type of serpentine
-
Interestingly enough, Lemon Jade has 6 fingers on each hand, equally 12 in total. She mentioned that Jade is for 12th wedding anniversaries. Interesting design feature that may be intentional!!!
-
It was insinuated that Zircons(or at least, the Diamond's Zircons) could get shattered for losing a case, because Blue Zircon mentions how her "gem is on the line" Of course, this could mean her reputation, but however you want to see it.
-
The rings in Holly's buns are a reference to the rings and patterns of real world agate. I noticed that when I put my blue agate over a flash light, as it's semi transparent the rings were hidden just like how Holly secretly wished to have been made for yellow
-
Garnet: strong Amethyst: a happy warrior Pearl: flexible and accurate Lemon jade: godly
-
if blue diamond were to use her old power on spinel would she react the same as lapis because of how much emotional trauma she went through? 😳
-
The Blue Zircon is one of my favorites if not the best character in the show as she is the first character to be able to analyze and conclude that there was a flaw in the story being told about Pinks shattering she was a catalyst that helped change the story and showed the audience what we should had realized for a long time, that Pinks shattering had way more to it and we don’t know the real story
-
Could you talk about: THE GARNETS: - Hessonite - Pyrope - Demantoid QUARTZES: - Biggs Jasper - Ocean Jasper - Lace amethyst - Crazy Lace agate - Cherry Quartz - Blue lace agate - Angel aura quartz - Zebra jasper - Zebra jasper (fusion) - Carnelian - Flint - Chert UNCORRUPTED GEMS: - Bixbite - Orange spodumene - Watermelon Tourmaline MORE HOMEWORLD GEMS: - The other jades - Emerald - The pebbles (Like or comment if you want them to talk about any of these gems)
-
Jade being the official gem of twelfth wedding anniversaries could be the reason for Lemon Jade having twelve total fingers!
-
My favourite zircon fact: it's radioactive! Very slightly, but it's still one of - to my knowledge - quite a few gems that retain a low level of radioactivity throughout their lifetimes. This means the older a zircon is, the more unstable it is and the easier it chips, as the radioactivity slowly changes the composition of the gem.
-
I like blue diamond's reaction to zircons accusation, as if she were surprised that one of them could have actually shattered pink.
-
Holly blue: all they talk about is steven, steven,steven, STEVEN?! nervous saluting away
-
Zircons contain uranium. They can be mildy radioactive. They are also extremly durable. They are used to date some of the oldest rock formations in the world. I kind of expected it to come out that the zircons where older than the diamonds.
-
I think its interesting that even though right-cheek and left-cheek are both jades, their fusion has multiple body parts. A trait we only see in different gem fusions most of the time.
-
You should do all the other quartz's like zebra jasper and blue lace agate. Probably in two or maybe more parts
-
Steven Universe got me interested in gemstones.
-
Holly Blue's desire for order becomes more apparent, when the Zoo is converted into a "cruise ship" of sorts. She hates seeing all the Amethysts relaxing and "showing a total lack of order" and still longs for the Diamonds oppressive rule. But even though she still doesn't seem to respect Steven in a typical sense, she knows not to speak ill of him when he's around
-
Do symbolism of the Prism (Steven Universe games) and Hessonite (also from the games)
