Maybe Pearl thought the mirror was a piece of really old Gem technology and that Lapis’ gem was some sort of fancy design. That might be why she (Pearl) thought the mirror was not working.

For me, that’s why Lapis didn’t directly tell Pearl that she was sentient out of the fear of being shattered (hey, her gem was already cracked plus, she was still affiliated with the Gem Homeworld).
