I was thinking the same thing, actually... I have a huge chunk of manmade bismuth, and most of the crystals that formed on it are in the step pyramid shape. So it seems likely that this is not a "natural" gem from Homeworld if it is indeed a gem. It might have been made in Kindergarten. However, if this is a bismuth gem, there's something odd about it - manmade bismuth is not pink. It is a dull brassy color and oxidizes (rusts) to form its beautiful rainbow iridescent sheen. I have only seen bismuth oxidize this way - I've never encountered a fully pink specimen. Which leads me to wonder if this could be a gem Rose herself created somehow at some point, since Rose's main color is pink. I also wonder if it could have/develop healing powers beyond even Rose and Steven - bismuth is used commonly in medicines, most notably Pepto Bismol, which of course happens to be pink.
