Has anybody noticed how the shattering ray is white?

Could White Diamond's power be exactly that? Shattering gems?

Think about it. Yellow diamond's power is electricity that can be used to destabilize other gems as seen on the Zircons, which has been engineered as the mean of functioning of the gem destabilizers. White diamond's powers could have been the base on which the shattering robonoids work.

This would lead to the following theory: Rose quartz wanted to poof pink and imprison her inside a bubble. As Bismuth specified when illustrating the capacity of the sword during her episode, she designed Rose's sword so that it could cut trough any gem physical form instantly. Probably as a show of strenght to the other diamonds and to keep them from unleashing their diamond attack, seeing how Blue was attached to her they'd have probably thought twice before corrupting their little sister.

However White Diamond utilized this scheme to her advantage. She managed to have her soldiers and entourage withdraw ensuring that Rose would reach her without effort, and then once her sword was already starting to cut trough her body...she unleashed her shattering ray and killed Pink in front of everyone, whom of course would blame Rose for it.

Rose then could have used this as a means to rile up her army, and inciting more sentiments of rebellion in the other gems. Probably even coming to believe that it was her fault, that somehow her sword killed Pink.
