Gem Formation Theory
I have come up with a possible theory as to how gem formation works. A basic formula for it is:
For example: amythests are a purple colour, so a pink and blue diamond essence mixture is injected. They are a type of quartz, so a Silicon Dioxide based rock, such as granite, should be used. Ta da! An amythest!
Organic gems can be created using the same basic process, with a few alterations. Ambers use the same process, but instead of rock, they are injected into trees.
Pearls, specifically, are made not using diamond essence, but narce essence. Narces are the only gems other than the diamonds capable of producing essence that will create gems. The essence is then injected into a specially dug hole in an underwater kindergarten. Ta da! A Pearl!
Finally, trace elements. They are used to change the features of a gem. An example is Amythest 8XJ, whose iron deposits near her injection site caused her curly hair.
I hope this theory is helpful!

≫ Storyline
Alexis was born in Ireland, and moved to London when she was 5. Shortly afterwards, her health began to deteriorate. Initially her family wasn’t worried, but after the illness continued for a number of months, they took her to a doctor. He requested further testing, and it was found that she had a genetic condition that would result in death unless a cure could be found.
Initially Alexis was hopeful, strongly believing that she would find a cure. However, as years went by, and her condition deteriorated further, she began to lose faith. By the time she was 15, she had essentially accepted that there was nothing she could do.
Instead of sinking into despair, she decided to live her final years as productively as possible. She read all about the world, form the average height of a penguin to the weird naming conventions of milk. However, her time was up all too fast.
She passed away at 4:30 Pm on a Sunday.
Alexis was a victim of a celestial admin error, a fault that occurs fairly rarely. She should have gone to heaven, but went to hell instead. However, she is surrounded by new friends, and finally has some semblance of normalcy.

An alternative gem naming system
If you’re watched Steven Universe, you’ve probably seen fan explanations about the Facet & Cut system. The system is okay, however I feel like it lacks potential somewhat. I therefore give you my alternate naming system for your gemsonas.
The structure of the system follows this pattern:
The carat section of the name shows the quality, colour and rank of the gemstone. The notation goes:
Q6-CB-R3
The Q notation represents the quality of the gem, on a scale of 1 to 10. This gem would be about average in terms of strength and other abilities.
The C notation represents the hue of the gem. This gem would be slightly towards the blue side of the spectrum. There can also be other spectrum changes, including R (red), P (pale), and I (rich). The pale term doesn’t reflect a defect in this case. For gems that can be any or many colors, other terms can be used.
The R notation indicates the gem's place in society. This is different from the caste system. The options include:
1 - Builders
2 - Warriors/Soldiers
3 - Servants
4 - Entetainers
5 - Technicians
6 - Supervisors
7 - Colonisers
8 - Scientists
9 - Administration
10 - Pilots
This gem would be some sort of servant, perhaps a Pearl.
This may sound the same as the canonical version, but my formula is somewhat different. It reads:
SCabochon-O GPearl
It can be broken down relatively easily:
The S notation indicates the shape and cut of the gemstone. The first term can either be Cabochon or Cut. The second term represents the overall shape. The example is interpreted as a oval Cabochon. If the first term is cut, however, the name is written.
You can use this method without credit, but feel free to credit anyway.

I REWATCHED A TALE OF TWO STANS AND I SAW THIS. IVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE POINT THIS OUT WTH
Requirements for a perfect gem
How to make Jasper, basically.
The mixture of essence must be 100% balcanced and pure.
The surrounding rock must have an unusually high mineral and nutrient content.
NO impurities, either damaging impurities or trace minerals can be present.
The incubation must be unusually hot. I gathered this from the glass around Jasper's emerging hole, where her emergence may have melted the sandstone around her.
The injection surface must be 100% smooth.
I made the criteria deliberately difficult to show just how rare a perfect specimen of a gem is. That’s why Jasper is much higher in the Caste system than you would expect of an ordinaru quartz.

It's school time. My endorphins have swam off, my melatonin has become too mellow for its own good, and my dopamine is smoking dope in the corner.

Hot Take
Steven is in hospital for emergency psychiatric treatment. If his mental state is really as bad as it seems, it's probably deteriorating at a pace where it is unlikely to be controlled without drastic intervention. He's having flashbacks, for God’s sake.
There are a number of reasons why a person can be hospitalised in this situation:
They require medication for their mental state, and need to be kept under observation to make sure there are no adverse effects
They are so unwell that they are unable to control their responses, and may be a danger to themselves or others
They may be suicidal or show suicidal tendencies
I feel like Rebecca wouldn’t go quite that far, but given that the latest leak that more or less involved Steven saying that he didn’t want to live anymore, I wouldn’t put it past her.
I was once hospitalised due to a mental health breakdown. I hated it, and I have trauma from the expirience. I only hope that Steven manages to avoid the worst of it.
Also... Why is he in a boat? It it the H.M.S Residual Trauma?
