This would not have been Jaspers first time seeing Pearl, Saphire or Ruby.

She calls Ruby and Saphire a shameless display. Meaning not only does she know they are a fusion with out having to see their two gems, but she can also tell something might be off about pearl and Amythist is a pariste. Not one of these things seemed remotely evident or obvious to anyone looking other than though seeing personality quirks and responses. None of which Jasper could have seen.

Things she could be basing this off of are; Amythist seems to be a small gem, so its possible she is seen as over baked due to this. Also Ruby and sahpire are seen as weak as well. I think it might be due to size, though i am not sure why as it seems rather irelivant in all cases.

Jasper states things about them all that as far as we know dont make sense visually. So its more about disproving its not something visual that seperates them from other gems. (like i dont see any connections between regular gems and fused ones other than multiple limbs and gems, and thats not always constant) or that its information she already had before about Rose Quartz's army.

And if each are exsapmles of difference in the gem race, we have nothing to base the normal species off of right now, so we have no way to prove this. Like ruby and saphires choice to fuse permanently does not seem to be a social norm at this time. Amythists only difference is how human her outfit looks. Past that I am at a personal losse.

I think the shape and color theory might be strongest for Pearl, but the color part,( if white pearls are unatural) it makes Pearl out to also be a made or parisitic gem. Which means there is sooooooooooo much self hate is going on in this group. But as unsympathetic as Pearl is about Amythists feelings (in that she had no idea Amythist was emotionally hurting about being a made gem) I would assume shes a normal Gem.

...*face palms* orr a fused garnet and a normal garnet dont look the same. Its entirely possible that differing gems have certain atributes the fusion version of that gem would not have. But this leads to another can of worms, are there normal gem versions of garnet and opal and malchite and etc?

Like the only confirmed info I really get out of all of this is, there are multiple versions of each gem just not what that would fully define. So its not A Pearl, its one of many Pearls and etc. And each might look very different. You make several great points here, but the most interesting is your theory of non-fusion versions of fusion gems. It's actually quite possible given the amount of gems it would take in order to form a civilization, especially to sustain one for such a long period of time, even with evolution and advances.
