The Mirror

"The Mirror" is a magical item that first appears in the episode "Mirror Gem." Steven is given the mirror by the Crystal Gems and later discovers that a Gem, Lapis Lazuli, is trapped within it.



Appearance
An ornate design of silver-blue metallic material comprise the backing and handle of the mirror; Lapis' cracked gemstone is affixed to the back. The mirror itself is round piece of blue glass with a faint contour of a gemstone etched on its surface.

History
Pearl gives the mirror to Steven so he can learn about the Gem's culture and history; it is able to show its viewer any event it was present for since its creation. Pearl tells Steven they found the item at the Galaxy Warp. As Steven and Lapis begin communicating, she tells him she was purposely imprisoned within the mirror and heavily implies that the Crystal Gems are involved with her entrapment. The Gem's potential prior connection with Lapis and the mirror is currently unknown.
