First. Twins, Triplets, Quadruplets etc. There are plenty of people who share identical physical attributes and yet are still different and distinct from each other.

Second; ifyou listen to the way the CG's think, they talk of gems being born. Where Jasper and the HG's tend to talk about gems as though it's a breding farm. With the lower levels being disposable. In that kind of society they aren't going to think of each pearl in terms of a person but in terms of their skills and fighting abilities. Most likely the majority of pearl gems (or gems where the stone is in the head) end up commend level, or have skills with machinery/computers but even if their physical designs were to be identical (and they don't have to be) they could easily have completely different personalities, dress differently, talk differently to the point where you can clearly see - two different characters.

Third; Rose quartz is a quartz. What makes her unique is she's a Rose... And a person... And possibly a queen but who's counting. I do like the idea mentioned by others though that there are different colours of gemsm ie; black pearl.

Finally. Where fusion is concerned I think you have the right of it. Part of the reason most of the gems talk of fusion as something temporary for dire situations is cause when two gems fuse, they Do become a different person. Which is meant to be why the continual fusion of saphire and ruby is significant.

In their relationship they see themselves as two parts of garnet, not garnet is a combination of them.
