Maybe gems don't have a concept of slavery. Aren't all gems slaves to the diamonds, after all? I mean pearls are just scapegoats.

They seem, to me, to be very analogous to an insect hive. You could argue that the worker ants or bees are very much slaves, yes. But they do indeed not have that concept. All Gems are bred for a purpose; some to be scientists. Some to fight. Would make sense if some were simply bred to power a lamp, I guess.
