Comic Book Gem Monsters: UNCORRUPTED :)

Sorry it’s been a minute but I have been drawing a lot lately, I’ve got over 80+ gems drawn out I believe so I might go back to regularly posting! Anyways a little about these lesbians! In my HC these were all Crystal Gems (to make my life easier lol). Pearl for scale on the left!!

1. Sphalerite - fusion of a Citrine, a Nephrite, and a Bixbite. Very tall.

2. Idocrase - fusion of 4 unkown gems, not great at fighting but a pro at hugging.

3. Iridescent Goethite - very large bashful gem with a huge heart. Made to roll out material projectiles for cannons (cannonballs). Would rather roll in the grass.

4. Variscite - quick gem with strong caretaking tendencies. Used to be something like a gem nurse in Homeworld.

5. Jeremejevite - loves digging, in Homeworld she created holes to anchor down large structures to the ground. Now helps humans in construction.

6. Amazonite - originally an organic life biologist, now helps run the local animal shelter. She can also communicate with animals. Very fond of raccoons.

7. Andesine - used to be a scribe for court proceedings, now works as a writer.

8. Realgar - originally used for retrieval missions, now she works as a lifeguard!

9. Bowenite - made to be a historian and philosopher, now works as a gem history teacher.

10. Heulandite - small gem who can make it snow within a radius around her. Originally used to keep artifacts cool in warm colonies.

11. Viridine - incredibly feisty small gem with dashing abilities, her temper has since cooled and now works at the local library!

I hope you enjoy them!

#repost @fersman_mineralogical_museum Fersman Mineralogical Museum Минералогического музея им. А. Е. Ферсмана (Moscow, Russia). Lion carved in serpentine (bowenite), seemingly from the Faberge studio, 21 cm. Museum acc. no. PDK-1616. as seen in the lovely catalog of stone carvings in this museum's collection edited by M.B. Chisiakova, published by Maier in 2019 and found at the Harvard Library. Of course, direct access to this museum collection is out of the question but fortunately there are some great minerals here. The search for feline figurines will continue.

2. Heliodor (Emerald + Bixbite)

3. Maxixe (Aquamarine + Bixbite)

“But without corrupted gems, fighting has no punchline!”

Here is Bowenite, the fusion of peridot and Pearl!

My inspirations for this are Penelope Spectra and the Joker.
