The Great Diamond Authority are not actual Diamonds, but they are the first four Gems that came into existence. After centuries of being alone, the four Gems developed technology to reproduce and make more of their kind. All subsequent Gems have been engineered from these four Gems, taking bits of Gem "DNA" from two or more of the founder Gems. Among the founder Gems were Rose Quartz, Lapis Lazuli and Yellow Diamond.

Essentially Yellow Diamond and Rose Quartz are Jasper's parents! Rose Quartz and Lapis Lazuli produced Amethyst!

The fourth "Diamond" is known as Nacre... (Aka Mother of Pearl) How else did you think Pearls were made?
