If she’s a Gem philosopher, however, it’s perfect. If she is meant to be a soldier, a bulky, frilly dress wouldn’t be the best thing to fight in. Clothing obviously is also different between classes and castes depending on the Gem’s role. Context definitely applies here, as the zoo Amethysts wear blue to either signify their controlled role under Blue Diamond or command to Holly Blue Agate, but if they were ever reassigned to someone else, they would probably be expected to change their appearance. Clothing is a bit complicated as well, as Gems have the full capability of being able to completely change them, but it appears that higher ranking Gems are granted the most leeway over what they wear and more “common” Gems are expected to wear either the same thing as their peers or something very similar. Some of these characteristics are born traits that cannot be changed, while others have the ability to be modified. personality/motivations/demeanor (Not every Bismuth wants to build and not every Jasper wants to fight,Īs much as Homeworld would like to deny this).weapon and/or magical abilities (Eyeball Ruby and CG Ruby have different weapons, and Rose’s ability to heal was and still is seen as a rare trait among most Gems, but especially Quartz soldiers).So far we know Gems of the same name can vary in: As of now, this post excludes fusions that’s a whole other conversation. For my sake, I’ve tried my best to put together a coherent set of rules based on what I’ve seen from the show. However, Gems as a species aren’t just a free-for-all, there are laws as to what a certain Gem can and cannot look like. And to be fair, we’ve only seen a glimpse into this world and it’s rules. It is also of interest to mineral collectors, who sometimes cut slabs of it to resemble landscapes beneath a realistic-looking sky.Unfortunately, it’s difficult to put together a canonical gospel about Gems given some conflicting information we’ve seen regarding Gemkind. : 61 It is used as a gemstone in bolo tie stones, necklaces, bracelets, brooches and other jewelry. : 60 Use īiggs jasper is one of the most sought-after extremely siliceous stones. Because of their different physical properties, water movement separated the two colloids from which the chert and Biggs jasper resulted from each other, so that both were deposited in nearly pure form. It formed from colloidal silica released from the volcanic debris. : 60 Also often found together with Biggs jasper is a dark gray, somewhat translucent chert. It is probably the end form of much-weathered volcanic debris. Near Biggs jasper a stratum of white clay is sometimes found, locally named "wascoite" for the town of Wasco, Oregon. These caused the great variety of marbled, rosette-like and picture designs found in Biggs jasper. The altered rock remained plastic, and subject to local movement as a result of pressure changes. : 58 The hydrothermal reaction progressed as a shock wave through the mud, removing iron from it and depositing the iron as intertwining bands of limonite. As water escaped it in the form of superheated steam, pressure variations resulted in flexing and many short fluctuating changes, reflected in the jasper's many thin, parallel bands. When lava next flowed over it, the heat and pressure transformed the muddy mixture. There it mixed with silica and iron from the weathering of the then-recent igneous rocks, forming a plastic colloid. : 57 During this time, the volcanic ash decomposed into clay and was deposited by rain water in streams and lakes atop the cooled basalt. Many thousands of years passed between the individual flows, allowing life to flourish. states of Oregon, Washington and parts of Idaho. In this piece of Biggs jasper, the border between the jasper at the bottom and the untransformed rock not reached by heat and pressure is visible.īiggs jasper is found between two of the basalt lava flows that once covered the U.S.
