I believe the massive creation of gems in kindergardens were created by as Ronaldo said "HOLLOWING OUT THE EARTH!" They would locate gems with their bacteriophage devices, and use said gems as focal points for creating a new gem while using the surronding for additional mass. The virus analogy still works though, as this reproductive process would ultimately consume FAR too much of earth's silicon matter most likely causing it to become unstable or impossible for organic life to exist. If this were one of the eight dang planets in our solar system WITHOUT life this would be fine, but on ours its kind of a screw you. Rose most likely knew this, and stood against the GDA. Speaking of unstable, notice how many gem holes were at the kindergarden? Mayhaps they were...mass produced? Perhaps what caused them to be corupted was that they were all made in a hurry, meaning that a majority of their energy matrixes had such crucial flaws that they became bestial. Amethyst is most likely the only Earth made gem to not have such crucial flaws to her energy matrix. I agree, but I still think that 'corrupted Gems' are not limited to the mass produced ones and could be some form of battle damage sustained to even Homeworld Gems without the need for visable damage(Psycholigical scaring,mental attacks wreacking their minds or maybe even pushing themselves too far and they snap). But that just raises the question why were Gems being mass produced like this? It's obvious that this can't be the source of all Gems otherwise they wouldn't have a Homewolrd to warp back to. And why Earth? There's the potential to mine Gems on other planets.(unless this is just the creators not knowing that or something) I don't think they would mass produce Gems like this  unless there was a great need for Gems, espicially since they have indefinate lifespans.
