<p>The beta kindergarten was set down in the worst logical environment for gem production; a desert. Despite feeding off of organic life, homeworld, in their desperation for more soldiers, made the horrible and completely illogical decision of setting up the beta kindergarten in the middle of a desert, a biome that lacked FAR more organic life by default compared to other places on earth. As a result of this misstep, the beta kindergarten was a failure. Every single gem that came out of it was deformed and defective on some level, lacking the proper nutrients and resources they needed from their environment, and failing to reach their full genetic potential as a result. All the gems from the beta kindergarten were below average at best; all accept for one Jasper...but why? Why was it that despite everything missing from that environment, and despite all the gems that failed to develop properly, Jasper managed to not only be better than her fellow beta's, but went so far as to be essentially perfect, and better than even gems we've seen from the prime kindergarten? Well, there's actually a very sinister possibility...
</p><p>Some creatures in nature are born killers and survivors by default. Lemon sharks are just one example of creatures where before the young are even truly born, they have to fight for their right to exist. Lemon shark pups devour each other in their mothers womb, the strongest one or two pups ultimately gaining strength from devouring their unborn siblings, and being birthed fully developed and independent, significantly increasing their chances of surviving on their own. Scarily enough, this may just be the same reason why Jasper came out "perfect", and perhaps why the other beta kindergarteners came out as "wrong" as they did. It's possible that with such limited resources, the growing gems were forced to compete for nutrition while they were developing, and unltimately, possibly from a lucky head start, Jasper ended up taking all of the organic matter in the vicinity before the other gems could. This would make sense, as in the prime kindergarten, there were more than enough resources for the developing gems, and therefore there was no need for competition. This would also explain why we haven't seen a perfect amythest from earth; every gem in the prime kindergarten got an even share of resources, no more, no less, and the lack of competition meant they all came out about "average".
</p><p>Now of course, this is all just speculation, but it legitimately seems to me like this might be the case. But it's really just a theory, so I could be wrong. Although, I know we're not going to get a definitive answer regardless, so it's anyone's guess.
