The rarity=social hierarchy theory makes a lot of sense, especially when you consider the way that gems harvest gemstones from other planets.

I've always theorized that Rose Quartz is part of a "higher" class of gems, so it's really cool to see some new evidence for that. Her powers and personality seem to be custom-fitted for leadership, and she was obviously able to bring other gems to her side with ease. If so, Steven's existence could completely upend their entire culture!
