As far as the confirmation that it is at least a pearl (no specific identified one) and a ruby (no specific identified) - the "rebecca said it" is (seemingly) legit.

The "source" is Make A Wish. however afaik the original copy of the source has been deleted.

Rebecca and potentially others showed Wanted to a Make-a-wish fan earlier than memorial day, and during this time, she also explained to the fan a few things.

We had name drops of everyone before it aired, Twins were Rutile, Padparadscha was referred to as "Padparadscha Sapphire", as well as Rhodonite (a Pearl and Ruby fusion) - Fluorite was only referenced to as "Caterpillar" - there's not like this long list of gem components.. maybe Flourite will never get defused and if she does it'll be a point in time where she's shattered afterwards. But that's just speculation from what was said.

According to the same source, The "statue" of "white diamond" was also "not a statue" (could be a building still.. They only said "not a statue".. but it could also mean that White diamond is flippin massive and practically wired into the planet, explaining why they didn't even try and wait for her to show up at the Trial let alone her not coming.

Two other key points that has since been also confirmed were that Rutile was a deformity, not a fusion, and "Rhodonite" used to work for a gem called "Morganite"

Oh

And that ther was 2 zircons, and that they were lawyers, that the one we saw in promos was Steven's defense and the other was prosecution.

Much like the Leak about Aquamarine and Topaz- It occured a "while" before the actual episodes aired or anything else had name dropped them or etc, and has since been shown in episode to be nearly entirely confirmed/true

So nobody looks at it like some kinda fabrication, and that it is truly confirmed to be a Pearl, which it looks like, and a ruby, which it looks like. (That said, EMERY (a black corundum) might get called a Ruby(and/or off color Ruby) Since Padparadscha was literally referred to as "Padparadscha Sapphire" - they're technically unique names, and not necessarily required to have sapphire or  corundum or etc with them.) (that said, All non-red Corundum are technically sapphire, and could give PPS a pass...)
