Gem Anatomy: During the episode An Indirect Kiss Amethyst seemed to "glitch" or "flicker" after her gem gets cracked. Makes me to theorize that their Human bodies are acually fake and their actual body is the Gem(s) itself that are somewhere on their bodies. Those Gems generate a Hologram like body so they can enteract with their enviroment and other beings. This will explain (at least for me anyways) how they can shapshift and many other of their abilities.

Gem War: (This is all speculation right now due to the lack of info!) Pearl said that there are Gem controled planets in the universe. So it is safe to presume that some Gems got the idea of instead of protecting the planets and it's inhabitants, they sould conquere them for whatever reason. This will eventually cause all or most of the Gems to chose a side and the following tenson between the two will soon result into a war. Gems can customize their holographic-projected body through regeneration and magic, as shown in Space Race.
