Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

We assume she's quartz, but her gem looks more like a pink diamond than a rose quartz. Look 'em up. Rose quartz is more a smokey thing, and I think would look more akin to a Pearl's gem coloration-wise. As well, Steven was able to use his gem to activate things explicitly marked with the four diamond symbol.

the rose quartz/pink diamond theory always rustled my jimmies a touch because isn't there different shades and translucencies of rose quartz? it's not unheard of for rose quartz to have a solid, rose red color.

also, spoilers ahead, in the new episode wasn't peridot using one of those four diamond things as well?

A quick google search shows that, no, there is NOT a redder color of rose quartz. It's a paleish, milky pink, and even if it's diamond cut it's kind of. Smokey and pale. Not as dark as Rose's gem in SU. The only time i'm getting anything as dark and reddish is pink diamonds.

try looking up RED rose quartz, anon. it does exist, it's just more rare. i searched it up into google and got a few good results in just the first four pages.

also, here's a link to one that is a nice pink and is transparent

and one that is more red

but there are plenty more results on the google image search.

Okay but I personally don't see how that would look like Rose's gem, given it's shown to be more in-line coloring-wise to Amethyst's and Garnets.

i just realized the irony of steven universe

a show made mostly for ladychildren women has as its cast one fat boy and then a bunch of anthropomorphic gemstones

gemstones

did the creators do that on purpose or was it just a telling freudian slip?

i'm guessing they mean diamonds are a girl's best friend etc

i think im having a not good english moment. are you saying the links i provided look more like amethyst and garnet's gems?

Re: da

(Anonymous) 2016-01-07 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I'm saying the way Rose's gem is colored in the show looks more like Garnet and Amethyst's--solid and "clear" gems. Rose Quartz would probably be colored more similarly to Pearl's to get across that it's not a "clear" gem.

Re: da

(Anonymous) 2016-01-07 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
but rose quartz can appear as clear. the first link i put up is fairly clear, but there are more. if it helps the visualization of the cut, try to google cut rose quartz--i don't know what the cut is specifically called, but it shows results of translucent rose quartz cut so that it looks closer to the show.

Re: da

(Anonymous) 2016-01-07 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I've seen clearish rose quartz, but it's never been the RED type. IF that makes sense. (I also hadn't even heard of red rose quartz before this thread and I keep a bunch of it where I live.)

Re: da

(Anonymous) 2016-01-07 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
anon please google it. i'm looking at a few right now that match rose's gem.

it makes sense. it's rare to find rose quartz that match those qualities. i used to collect them and other stones as well.

yeah after these past few episodes idt rose was pink diamond but i am kind of into the theory that diamonds are fusions and rose was part of one.

like comparing her design to blue and yellow diamond's she doesn't really match up, plus she's not nearly as big as them (assuming all of the diamonds are big like blue diamond).

they are definitely tip-toeing around pink diamond, though. all you saw of her mural was her legs i think.

At the same time, I've wondered if it's possible that Rose's build was consciously altered. And none of the gem structures we've seen would be able to really accommodate any of the Diamonds aside from maybe the moon base, so they might be able to size change.

nah you're going to end up being wrong about that like you were wrong on peridot getting redeemed.

This is hilarious in light of what just happened.
