I think a gem like Bismuth would be one-of-a-kind. Probably even rarer than Sapphire and Lapis, to be honest. I mean, we have a Gem that can create/modify Gem Weapons. I THINK a gem like that wouldn't be something that Homeworld just has a ton of, or even more than one of (If Bismuth was ever allied with Homeworld at ANY point)

No, I'm about 99% sure this was OUR Bismuth that poofed Lapis. We'll probably get an answer tomorrow, but thinking about it logically- Lapis was a Homeworld-allied gem. She bore the Blue Diamond insignia on her outfit. with her allegiance plastered on her body like that, why would any Homeworld warriors intentionally attack her like that? We saw Bismuth strike her down on purpose; she obviously saw Lapis as an enemy, and took her down without haste.

Now, I see a lot of people are pretty confused. They think Lapis was struck down and imprisoned by the same gem, but it sounds to me like Lapis was simply found after the fact by a Homeworld solider who didn't know her allegiance, rather than picked up immediately by Bismuth.

And, More importantly, this flashback was obviously meant to foreshadow Bismuth. She has the same Gem placement and shape as Bismuth, and attacked a homeworld gem as opposed to a Crystal gem. WHY, then, would they be foreshadowing Bismuth with a DIFFERENT Bismuth? What would be the point? Why would it MATTER that a Bismuth poofed Lapis? At that point, they might as well have used someone else (Like Garnet, who Lapis seemed terrified of back in Mirror Gem, or Heck, maybe even Rose? it didn't have to be Bismuth.)
