Well, gematically speaking Pearls, Opals, even Obsidian and Bismuth for that matter aren't true gemstones, but are regarded as such in this series. I truly think Steven Universe uses Jewelry as the reference for the Gem's theme rather than the actual stones. You also wouldn't get perfectly cut and tumbled gemstones like we see Gems pop out of the kindergartens with, that requires jewelers cutting, adding facets etc. the only way that could even work in this show is the Injector fluid being placed in a pre-shaped mold and hardening.

Also techinically, if it's the Diamonds' sweat makes the Gems, are they even truly the gemstones they claim they are? Theorhetically wouldn't everything be considered a Diamond by that logic? lmao In the movie we saw Pearl appear out of a holographic oyster, so it's possible Pearls could have their ownspecial kindergartens on homeworld for all we know, mayber they have huge oyster farms, we actually don't know much about Pearls in this show now that I think about it.
