| “ |
An ancient elemental, so hot, and so volatile, it can only be contained in ice. Bare skin cannot endure its intensity! |
” |
| —Pearl, "Monster Buddies" | ||
The Shooting Star is a Gem artifact that first appeared in "Monster Buddies". It is seen again in "Winter Forecast", as a tool that the Crystal Gems attempted to destroy the Galaxy Warp with so Homeworld Gems couldn't reach the Earth.
Appearance[]
The Shooting Star is a palm-sized, spiky cluster of pink and blue crystals, encased partially in a chunk of ice-like crystal. The Crystal Gems retrieved it from a shallow well found deep within the Ice Cavern.
Abilities[]
Pearl states that the Shooting Star is so hot that "bare skin cannot endure its intensity". Even Garnet, who can swim in lava and control electricity, is unable to hold the star without her gauntlets.
When even slight pressure is applied to the Shooting Star, it detonates, causing enough damage to destroy the entire Crystal Temple as seen in an alternate future from "Winter Forecast".

Trivia[]
- "You shoot it" is a joke Amethyst made when Steven asks what to do with the shooting star.
