Gem of their gems may have varying effects. The pain associated with cracking may be greater in the initial stages but will subsequently die down. Lapis had her crack for hundreds of years, she probably grew accostumed to the pain or she ignored it due to her anger/homesickness/sadness/etc. Amethyst was still in the process of being deformed, she constantly shifted between different forms, she didn't feel pain until her gem was again cracked for the worst. There may be a point in which the shifting of forms stop even with a cracked gem.

Also, Lapis is a homeworld gem and Amethyst is an earth gem. You could assume that E. gems are much more fragile than H. gems. Who knows. ..
