Yes but the same thing that happened with Rose would probably happen again. It would depend on the gender of the half gem. A female half gem wouldn't be able to get preggers from a 'male' gem because Gems lack biological DNA.

And a male/female half gem and a 'male'/'female' gem wouldn't be able to procreate with each other either. Adoption would be possible though. GUYS, GUYS, GUYS!!!!!! I just relized something huge! So, if Rose was able to shapeshift a womb for steven to be born in, and lets be honest that it implies that she shapeshifted a pair of lady parts, and so if she is able to shapeshift all of that, then couldnt she create DNA. Like she could take all the physical portions of her and translate it into genomes and create her own DNA. If all gem shapeshift and the proccess I just described is all shapeshifted, then all gems could do it. Also lets be honest that at the kindergartens at least, that life given junk is somehow injected into regular gemstones, then they could choose any gemstone they wanted, mix thier shapeshifted DNA and gem life giving junk and inject it all into that gem. SO THEY COULD HYPOTHETICALLLY HAVE KIDS! Theoritically yes IF AND ONLY IF she could form oganic parts and incorporate it into her being. But if she can't, then making DNA is out of the question.

DNA is one thing, but it should be known that a father practically only contributes his DNA. Other parts of the cell; the nucleus, ribosomes, golgi bodies, and other parts of the cell needed to maintain life is contributed by the mother. And Rose literally has none of that. The only thing that could support another's life is the one thing that's supporting her's, her gem.

I just realized Steven could very well be haploid, but I'm sure Rebecca has some explanation why his diploid, magic and what not.
