Are there other methods to making gems besides the drill implantation? How are Pearls made without oysters? (maybe they are parasitically implanted onto the alien sea life of the raided colonies, or something less nonsense) And why would Lapis Lazulis have hydrokinesis when many planets (in our solar system at least) do not have large bodies of water?

As far as the role of Lapis Lazulis, maybe they are messengers or explorers of some sort, specifically tailored to planets like earth. They have only ever been seen during Blue Diamond's colonisation too (our Lapis, and a Lapis-like gem silhouette in the answer). They are powerful, but not suitable for battle, considering our Lapis's self-sacrificial nature.

Yea, this is a long comment... there are just so many questions that need answering about homeworld!
