Its all pretty simple if you germ is:

On your Forehead , (like pearl and peridot) you are smart ,  or value knowledge . Throughout the series Pearl has been Steven's main "teacher" she is always trying to save parts of cultures and it seems like she really enjoys Teaching him. Peridot has always come across as a know it all to me, and she makes robots (or at least she feels close to them because she always refers to them as "my robots." She also flies the ship and her fingers turn into a computer of some sort.

On Your Chest, (like amethyst) you are emotional.  Amethyst is very childish and likes to laugh a lot, and i feel like its because she likes to be happy, she even eats just because she likes it. I think the events that happened at the kindergarten helps proves this. Amethyst was very emotional about what had happened. A gem on on the chest means the person is emotion, and i think it varies on how well they deal with their emotions

Opal is a mixture of mind and body. She can keep her emotions in check at all times, while still being able to have fun with steven)

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">On your Nose, (like jasper) you are head strong. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"> Someone who acts more then they think, and they value strength. I think Jasper is a perfect fit for this. Militaristic, Big headed and she even fights using her head.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">On your Hand <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">, (like garnet, ruby, or sapphire) at first i thought this was strength especially with Garnets weapon being what they are. Garnet is definitely the strongest of the crystal gems (who are still around), but now that i know she is a fusion i had to rethink my Theory. Thinking more about Garnet and especially Ruby and Sapphire i realized that its not strength, its <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">COMPASSION <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">! Think about it, Ruby and Sapphire are both quite small, so i don't imagine either of them being super hard hitters, but i do imagine them both being very caring, i mean they were obviously very important in the war since they have their own gems on the door. They were probably very close to Rose because they cared and were willing to lend a helping hand (get it? cause their gems are on their hands?). When Ruby and Sapphire were reunited neither of them cared that they were recently stabbed and thrown in jail, all they cared about was that the other was okay. Lastly. Garnet is (in my opinion) the best mother the Steven. She really cares about the gems and does anything she can for them!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">On the stomach <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">, (like Rose and Steven) <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">means you have a strong "Motherly Instinct" <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">. Rose Quartz, is everys mom. Everyone who knows who she is pretty much thinks of her as their mom. She has a thing with plants to the point where they fight for her. I like to think that she also had healing spit and that her kisses could heal to (like a mother kissing it better), but she thinks the tears are more dramatic. To top it all off Rose was trying to find a way to heal the corrupt gems, and then later down the line so does Steven. Steven isn't nearly as motherly as his mom is (possibly because hes still a child), but he still exhibits traits of motherly instinct. He is constantly naming things and calling them his son (Steven Jr. the goat from Giant Women) and he always wants them as a pet, including the Centipeetle. Steven also has on multiple occasions saved the day using his powers, almost like the adrenaline a parent gets when their child is in trouble.

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">That all i have for now. The only Gem placement i'm missing is Lapis Lazuli and i can't seem to come up with one for her. I feel like she hasn't done a whole lot yet. All shes really done is, complain, give us vague information, and then trap herself and jasper at the bottom of the ocean. I'm hoping as the series grows and we meet more Gems we can see how this theory grows, and maybe this can help people with they Gemstonas? I really like Luvinix's explanation for lapis's gem but I will still submit one of my own. Lapis gem placement represents '''Fortitude. S'''he has struggled alot emotionally and was imprisoned for centuries or millenia. She only wants to go home but she is stuck on an alien planet. Even after escaping, she finds that the homeworld has changed and she no longer has a home to go back to. She is forever a stranger and a prisoner (almost every episode) bares alot of emotion and pain that she is only starting to come to terms with. In other words, the stone is where she is baring her "cross" (unintentially religious imagery)


 * Edit: (shakes fist) Curse you, Anhydrite***

This makes a lot of sense as well!
