Talk:Lapis Lazuli/@comment-27756227-20160324135724

I have a theory as to why Lapis was in the mirror. My theory is that Homeworld was experimenting on powerful gems so they can find an alternative means of obtaining energy. From what we saw on the show, Lapis was powerful enough to nearly defeat the crystal gems, but not enough to defeat Jasper possibly because she have psychologicly defeated her by using her own memories and emotions against her as well as using advanced homeworld technology but, that not important right now. In the episode Mirror Gem, Pearl states the mirror was gem powered, however they did not know who Lapis was. This could mean although the mirror was powered by a gem, they did not know it was a homeworld gem inside, and the fact that they were worried would be because they would not know how to handle the situation. Meaing it wasn't them who imprisoned her. From what I saw on the there were various instances where a gem was used to power something or for experiments ( the pyramid temple, the old homeworld ship, the cluster, etc.). Seeing as how Lapis was very powerful, it would make sense for Homeworld to want to harness that type of power. More about this later....
