Amethyst was "undercooked" and she still turned out fine as well. and finally, all of the holes at the kindergarten were uniform which meant the gems knew what they were doing and they were doing it right for a long time. Actually, Jasper called Amethyst a "puny overcooked runt". Also, Amethyst's hole was away from the rest, and in On the Run, when she described what it was like in the Kindergarten before Rose and the Crystal Gems found her, she never mentioned other gems, just rocks, so it's theorized that she hatched late, after the Kindergarten was already abandoned.
