Talk:Corrupted Gems/@comment-5782071-20151025174529/@comment-26512843-20151028044611

Pearl has created hologramatic copies of herself before. I forget the episode, but it involved a beach party with the family who runs the pizza shop.

So I find it likely that these corrupted gems are simply creating replicas of themselves in a similar fashion, albeit with color. (Pearl has also shown that some of her holograms can interact with the world, after all.)

Other soultions are possible.
