I don't think Steven has actually lost his ability to heal.

The only proof we have so far that Steven can't heal is that he couldn't heal the crack in the geode. So far the only thing Steven can't heal is a giant rock. That's not alive.

Think about it. He can heal Gems, which are alive, and he can heal humans, who are alive, but the one thing he couldn't is an inanimate rock. It just makes sense to me that he can't heal the inanimate. Whatever Steven is trying to heal has to be capable of healing on its own, or growing, or generally exhibiting signs of life to actually be affected by Steven's spit.

We also haven't seen Steven attempt to heal anything since the geode, so as far as we're aware, he hasn't TRIED to heal anything since the geode. I think that if he tried again with something animate, he'd have better results and see that he hasn't actually "lost" his powers, rather, he just can't use it on literally everything. That would make him waaaaaaay too OP.

Thoughts?
