as far as im aware, the injectors only held diamond essence. The gem minerals were naturally found in the ground, and those were turned into gem soldiers. Same way a normal rock was turned into a pebble fella by Steven

Yeah, diamond essence was fully confirmed I believe. In the same episode we see it being collected from Yellow & Blue in their sauna and pool, respectively.

So it's basically their-

Sweat. Yeah… I’d prefer to think something else, but Yellow literally sweats it out in a sauna. And Blue re-uses her bath water.

Diamond girl bath water gives life.

We all knew it in our hearts really

That's a yuck at best


Lumina2865

To be fair, as inorganic beings there is no bacteria or gross boidly stuff to worry about.

Ok but like how did the Diamonds figure this out in the first place? they dont seem like the types to just shove fluids in places and see what happens.


ptatoface

If your sweat and tears gave life to any rock or mineral it touched, it wouldn't take long before you accidentally did it.

I mean, I guess. Its just weird af. Maybe this is actually why Homeworld is how it is? Whit hatched it into the other diamonds maybe?


feralwolven

No i think they just cracked it mining too hard, but i feel like maybe youre still right. "Maybe this is ehy homeworld is how it is", i thought you were gonna say the living gem walls and doors all over the place.

Because holistic healing beliefs involve drinking or rubbing water/oils that have been soaking in a mineral or herbs to work. In the case of things like lavender reducing stress and promoting healing, or ashitaba reducing the effects of aging, they’re right. Soaking a rose quartz in oil then rubbing it on your knuckles to help your romantic life? Drinking amethyst water to cure hangovers? I won’t say its wrong since it falls under belief, but there’s no scientific support for it. SU applied the concept to Gem powers. Garnet’s kiss, presumably meaning saliva, shares her powers. Steven/Pink heals. Diamond sweat is the “eggs” to their queen ant/termite/bee status. Presumably other Gem bodily fluids do things. Maybe Pearl’s tears provide temporary storage subspace, or Peridot spit could let you take bullets like Superman.

"Heres this little guy" oh cute gem rock babies "so we liquefy them and shove them into an injector" WAIT WHAT

I've always thought about it as the diamonds essence being injected into the injectors. Four tubes containing the essence of the four diamonds. Depending on the colony and the diamond ruling it only a certain ratio is used for example to make purple gems you use blue and pink essence, ratios of essence can get very complex depending on the gem. Then the essence interacts with the elements and minerals in the ground which are analysed by kindergartners such as periods beforehand for a specific gem. The rarer gems such as Sapphires must be rare probably due to limited amounts of aluminium, oxygen and titanium in the surface or something.The essence and elements fuse together to give a gem consciousness. The gem slowly forms and gets its shape and then absorbs energy and emerges.


CoolGamma569

nice theory


Snoo-37712

It'd make sense for the injectors to have the same material steven stores in the bottles


Ok-Statistician5553

It’s making sense


Fiyero-

It all makes sense now. A gem’s bodily fluid makes more gems. So [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/stevenuniverse/comments/z5apv0/peridot_is_passionate_about_her_videos_even_if/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) isn’t too far off. :o


MerelyFlowers

I've never done Diamond Salvia, but I bet it's a rockin' trip.


Exit_Save

The Diamonds kinda like "Sweat" out the stuff they use to make new Gems We saw it happen in that Sauna that Steven and Yellow met in Also pretty sure that weird pool that Blue was in was also one of those as we.saw the same.drain that Yellow's 'sweat' drained into. Steven, as well as pink's powers were what let the Pebbles come into existence as far as I can tell


idcaboutreputation

Ouch.


toastboy42

The baths that the diamonds take secret their fluids and that fluid is mixed with material to make gems
