Broken and Corrupted Gems are different. Broken Gems have a physical fracture or breakage on their Gem and can be easily fixed via healing abilities, e.g. Rose's tears or Steven's saliva. They still retain their morality but is physically injured or damaged due to the breakage of their gem, as seen with Lapis and Amethyst.

Corrupted Gems are different, they have lost all sense of morality and act on feral instinct rather than thought out decisions. They also appear animalistic, they had an anthropomorphic body once, as seen with the Centipeetle Mother in Monster Buddies, but has since lost it due to corruption, which does not physically damage the Gem and cannot be healed with Rose's tears or Steven's saliva.
