- Continuing our ongoing gem series, today we’re turning to a grouping of Garnets that are merely mentioned in the series but have their big moments in the mobile games ("Save the Light" & "Unleash the Light"): Hessonite, Demantoid, and Pyrope. As always, we’ll be looking at their history, personality, and design, and then turn to their real-world counterparts to see if they influenced their character or aesthetic. Hit that subscribe button and bell and grab a delicious cookie cat snack. I’m Kris Carr, and today I’m talking to you about the Garnets from the Steven Universe games.

I understand why Blue threw shade at our Garnet on homeworld. Natural Garnets are commanders and a foot soldier and aristocratic fortune teller fusing into one would be insulting.
That and fusions were considered "abominations" or "Disgusting"
@@iceluvndiva21 fusion of different gems
Ye!
@@iceluvndiva21 sounds like the gem version of homophobia
@@winningsmile844 Classicism is the right word, but it also parallels racism.
Our Garnet's wedding dress is similar to Pyrope's dress
Oooo good catch!
Oh my God yes
Omg I didn’t notice 😮
*[I would hate to live in a society ruled by Garnets]*
Peridot G A R N E T
Hi Peri
I would hate to live in a society ruled by peridots
As one raised by people who are basically Garnets, it SUCKS.
@@garnet6994 That sounds fun AND educational XD
Since pyrope is a combination of the Greek words fire and eye, I think they missed an opportunity by not having Pyrope’s gem in place of one of her eyes.
Or a third eye
Or giving her heat vision
Actually Pyrope, Hessonite and Dementoid are mentioned by blue diamond at the ball where she tells Steven where garnet would go, in with the Pyropes, the Dementoids, the Hessonites? Then she says that she's being very generous but then garnet cuts her off
Oh okay nevermind you got that lol 😅😅😅😅😂😂😂 I must have missed hearing you sorry about, I can admit that's my bad
I feel like the Homeworld equivalent of a vampire might be the gem shards or off colors (in the eyes of their society) and Pyropes could hunt them down, looking like some Victorian era Count Gem-cula hunter
Yes. All the yes. This is cannon now, everyone.
Kind of, the shattering robonoids are usually used for that.
I love how they described Pearl as the so called "Renegade Pearl"
Pearl: *secretly doing the renegade in her music video*-
Hector Studios ROUND AND ROUND LET THE CITY TURN
LMAO
PARTY IN THE HILLS OR WE COULD PARTY IN THE BURBS
ROOFS ON FIRE
LET IT BURN
CHAMPAGNE IN MY HAND
IM NOT CONCERNED
There are still so many types of garnets that are not in this such as Almandine, a red garnet.
i think our garnet is almandine garnet.
Spessartine,Andradite,Tsavourite
melanite and leuco garnets
@Dory Fin l like the way you think
But steven universe has shown multiple times that their gems can be different like how Aquamarine are Beryls in real world but in steven universe they are different or how Sardonyx is literally a fusion of Sard and Onyx, or how Topaz if you search it up its gonna be blue, or how Ruby and sapphire are the same gem,etc
If only Pyrope had a flaming lasso... pyro rope >.
Sans has approved your message
Crystal Gem Garnet's gem: Circular gems on her palms
Homeworld Garnets' gems: Rectangular gems on their bodies
*[Whoa...Those kind of Garnets look really different]*
Lapis Lazuli holy heck both you and Peridot commented on this video WHAT IS HAPPENING
Oh my stars, I didn't think you'd actually think you'd cover them.
Demantoid is definitely my favorite of the three. Pyrope being my least favorite.
EDIT: Three years later and now Hessonite is my favorite. 🫡
Same.
Idk, but who here thinks they're kinda.... uh, attractive?
Pyrope: I'm a garnet, a prism bearer
Steven: understandable, have a good day
I like Pyrope’s design, her attire and the way she talks and acts reminds me a lot of aristocratic women from the 18th century, particularly the French or Spanish upper class.
Looks like pink marie antoinette
@@lingsang_in_the_trees yeah, plus, I’ve noticed that some of the older era 1 type high ranking gems, look like noblewomen-with the fancy dresses, and snobbish demeanors.
I really disappoint that Hessonita and the other didn’t ge even a moment in the finale.
Even more disappointed our Nephrite or Emerald wasn’t shown in future.
or Squaridot :(
Isn't Unleash the Light an Apple exclusive? I still feel like that that was a dick move from CN.
Yea, I like Apple products and all of that, but it would have been cool if CN was able to put it onto other platforms like the other games. That said, Steven Universe content did have a funding issue especially after Ruby and Sapphire's wedding episode. It would not surprise me if Apple funded the game to get another Apple Arcade exclusive. And there might be a working relationship between Rebecca Sugar and Apple since she was featured on the App Store during Pride Month.
Dw, you didn’t miss much. It wasn’t very good...
m it was ok
Well
It suck
I prefer Save the light over it since StL give you more freedom to move around the map, it even have more characters than UtL
The gameplay are lame too, you only have 2 fusion
Like putting SU on Hulu (only available in the us)
Wait if a fusion is named after the gems they look like does that mean that there's a non fusion obsidian? (Not snow flake obsidian, that's a different gem form intirly), non fusion opal?, non fusion sugalite? That would be cool to see.
Yes all fusions are named after the look of their gems. Garnet for example would be considered a Ruby Sapphire fusion but their gem colors resemble a darker red of a Garnet. The only fusions that are what they are, are fusions of the same gem like Mega Ruby or Mega Pearl.
@@Error_-ct2vp not what I meant, what I meant is that garnet has traits that a normal garnet has like head shape, body shape and yes even coloration, but going strictly off of gem shapes would just call them by fusion classifications so garnets actual name would have been "sapphire ruby" or "ruby sapphire fusion" instead of just "garnet"
@@Error_-ct2vp omg ty. this was a year ago, but this explains a question I had a long time ago. nobody would understand what I was asking and would just say, "that's just how they designed them. nothing else"
I just adore Hessonite. Her design, humble personality.
Same!
“Humble”
Fun fact: Hessonite is also known as cinnamon stone
I just thought that was a cute fact.
But is Hessonite a cinnamon roll? 🤔
@@mysryuza in unleash the light she is
Awwww
I hate cinnamon, I don’t like the spicy and sweet combination. So I don’t think that’s cute. 😈
❤❤❤
True there are many varieties of Garnet. The garnet that we often associate as a dark red is the Pyrope variety also known as January Garnet
Fun fact:
In the Spain colony,was usual give pyrope as a gift as a date proposition,from the come the term "piropo" .
That’s a great fact!
Yay I made it super early and also I love the garnets, they’re really cool
Thanks for being here! Hope you liked the video!
The weirdo SU fan yeah, I like to respond as myself lol
Wait where did my reply go?
The weirdo SU fan whoa that’s weird. Did I accidentally hit reply and also somehow remove?! Very sorry if I did!

Garnets are some of my favorite gems!
Awesome! Hope you like this video!
*[Those garnets are so smug and stuck-up...But hey, what would /I/ know about being smug and stuck-up?]*
Aquamarine *[Greeting little British blue gem…]*
@@kokonut7342 *[Why hello there, Cyclops! Tell me though, what is a "British?" Is it a new rank?]*
Finally! I’ve been suggesting this, and it finally happened!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Kris Carr Thank you for noticing me!
Sehtareh thank you for watching our videos and joining in the conversation!!! We wouldn’t be around without fans like you 🥰 And we’re always open to suggestions for content!
See I used to have one favorite Steven universe character but then these games came out and now I have four
Lemme guess: Garnet and the Garnets
@@magicdreemurr3771 that just sounds like a different version of Steven and the Stevens XD
@The Scarlett Arts
Garnet and The Garnets
We're here to make you smile!
Me,myself,and I and her!
Are all of the same gem!
@@magicdreemurr3771 how did you know
@@idkwhatnametochoose8335 Pretty obvious by the way you wrote the comment, my friend. :)
PLEASE DO RUBY SQUAD
We have a video on Ruby and Sapphire, as well as Eyeball and Aquamarine!
Hi naivey
thats leggy not navy
I wouldn't call them the "real" garnets but the "Homeworld-made" garnets.
Our Garnet is as garnet as them.
No,they are the real garnets. A key thing to remember is that our garnet is a fusion: a ruby and a sapphire and are thus are not a ACTUAL garnet because they weren't created to be one and that garnet's existence is based entirely on what the fusion symbolizes. THESE garnets,however are garnets by design and don't need any other gems to make them what they are and are thus ACTUAL garnets.
@@JT5555 Our garnet made herself an actual Garnet. Goodbye.
@@zuupower3503 She just named herself after the gems she resembled most lol
Pyrope is like a gem version of Marie antoinette the french attire and towering hairstyle.
I love pyrope so much, she is an eternal mood
I love characters I can see myself in. Hessonite’s self-worth issues, Demantoid’s physical appearance impacting her and Pyrope’s tendencies to be distracted and leave things unfinished are all traits I have myself and I love when I can really see that. I absolutely adore the garnets, possibly more than the fusion we know and love. Then again, I’ve always had a thing for villains.
wow this is great 147 likes 0 dislikes 1,109 views
Happy people are enjoying it!
There should be a purple garnet called "Rhodolite" is a purplish garnet with a little tint of red.
Yellow + Blue = Green = Demantoid
Pink + Yellow = Orange = Hessonite
Pink + ??? = Red = Pyrope
Blue + Pink = Purple = Rhodolite
Xim red gems are from just pink
Out of the 3 garnets my favorite is pyrobe because I usually love gems of high status because their design is so cool and elegant
Next can you please do
- The rest of the rubies (Doc, Army, Navy, Leggy)
- Zebra Jasper the corrupted fusion
- Cluster?
-Famethyst
Hessonite best gem.
Theres only 1 real garnet
I love what you are doing with your content and the donations!!! this definitely helps and can change people's lives
Wow, suprisingly a lot of people are still watching those, I’m so happy that this community still lives on
Garnet in unleash the light : pitiful ,and they call themselves 'garnet'.
OMG totally forgot about these to be dived in on👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 happy surprise💯😎 thank you Ms. Carr💖 Very much enjoyed playing this game and they’re dynamic as Gems, so good👏🏻
So glad you liked the vid!!!!
Random tidbit: hessonites sword is the skin for the iron sword in the Minecraft mashup pack
Me: *loves garnet*
NerdWire: so let’s talk about the (oThEr) garnets.
Me: 😀😅
Demantoid isn't the only kind of green garnet there are three others I've seen,Grossular garnet, Andradite, and Uvarovite
Can I just mention that Hessonite’s boss theme SLAPS?! 👏
Yeetus
I didn’t realize SU was taking the KH route by having a mobile game be canon to the main story
Yeah
They should make a fourth game and the boss be Hessonite, Dematoid, and Pyrope fused
Can we talk about how kris has gone and responded to so many comments like?! That so sweet!!
Aw thanks! I really try to respond to everyone! It’s really cool of y’all to take the time to watch these and comment 🥰
Wow
How much research did you do for this?
Great video!
Aw thanks so much! Quite a bit- but its fun, and my favorite part of the job! I played the games, obviously am very familiar with the series, and read a ton of gemology and crystal healing articles.
@@kriscarr4929 That's a lot of effort. Thank you! :D
I love Pyrope's design. So fancy schmancy.
Two types of heterochromia the one that you just describe on the the first garnet and the one that I have basically the one I have is there's two different colors in each eye I have brown and green in each eye which makes my eyes Hazel
This is a awesome CZcams channel Keep up with the amazing work❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
Pyrope is a clod that has an appearance and personality similar to Marie Antoinette.
Tell me about it.😒 Pyrope's a total snobby b🤬!!!
[ *First Hopefully!* ]
Yep! Thanks, notification squad!!!!
i want to where pyrope. Now I know what gem i want.
I get the giggles every time I see Pearl's most recent form.
She's wearing mom jeans, y'all! 😆😆😆😆
Garnet vs Hessonite would have been nice
JFC I just found this channel and I’m already 10 minutes early
Ok I need to get the game now-
I'm curious about that triangle-shaped final boss...
spoiler on what it is
it's the three prisms fused into one
Do Hordak and his Symbolism.
I'll pass it along to our producer!
My two favorites are Demantoid and Pyrobe
Our garnet is the commander of the Crystal gems, a leader in her own right a commander of an army of liberation the leader of this free colony having the weapons of the Crystal Gems, fusion
What if your theorized on what gems that we’ve never seen in Steve universe, would act like. Maybe for an example moonstone or maybe a regular quartz. You could maybe do the same for fusions maybe guess what some fusions might be, act like or look like.
YESSSS i made it early!!
Wait is Hessonite a fusion because she have a gem on her eye and on her chest?
Nope that is confirmed to be her eye.
Wait.... So is Garnet really a Garnet? Or just a gem that calls itself Garnet because of the resemblance?
Our Garnet is not a "natural" Garnet, she calls herself like that because she looks like a Garnet.
Tsavorite is another green garnet variant
i like to think morganite and pyrope would be good friends lol
I believe our garnet is a umbalite garnet or maybe a rhodolite
They all have rectangular gems
I feel like if I were to play those games, it'd pull that "if the main character falls in combat the battle is over, even if everyone else is fine" crap
Lapis peridot and garnet and leggy (from the ruby squad) wow
Can you try to look into pyrite mentioned by blue diamond
11:11 make a wish
I just subcribed & i like your videoes
I love u guys
Demantoid = Peridot
Honestly, our garnet could be incredibly useful to homeworld…
Man these garnets arent anything like earths garnet
Hessonite earns a prism of mass destruction, her own ship,but she does the own pearl 💀💀💀💀 like bro has a skill issue
You guys should do symbolism on the all of the objects in Steven Universe
I feel like pyrope would have a war fan. Used in Japan spy's.
I’m not gonna be mean to this Pyrope character but Judging of her anger and attitude she looks like a mix version of miss rarity from My little pony friendship is magic just the way she acts on her voice it sounds like her and Grell Sutcliffe From black butler well only when she gets angry I kind of like the outfit of pyrope but at least they need to Change the hair is same thing with Demantoid And the reason is why because they look like their sisters from different colonies
Not only that about hessonite he is humbble too
If I were in steven universe my reaction to era 3 would be similar if not identical to pyrope's. I most certainly wouldnt have liked such a change in society and if I were high ranking enough I would simply rebel.
Well yes, because the change steven made to gem society was so sudden. I think it would've been better if steven had taken this a bit more slowly instead of almost instantly changing everything that the gems knew. Steven just wanted to get this over with and set all the gems free as soon as possible without realizing the actual damage he caused by setting things in motion.
Steven should've broadcast the news and give a better explanation about what era 3 is about instead of basically saying "well the diamonds don't control you anymore do what you want." because as we've seen, all the lower ranking gems like peridots and pearls don't know what to do on their own.
noice
I saw a fan video that sead end of the era or an era i fergot the title but i saw nephrite
8:35 basically (almost) every unfinished art i made
Brains brawns beauty
Yay I'm Early !
🥳🥳🥳
I have brown garnet
Us morganites do not appear in homeworld wonder why because the end of an era has closed the book I appreciate the low-end Gems but do you realize social distancing with major gems is a hessonite her attitude towards her big role dealing with the crystal gems?
1:39 just look garnet
Hessonite is my favorite garnet
4:05 AMOGUS?!!?!?????!!??!?!??
I love ya Kris! By the way where do you get your real world gem info from?
A couple different sources! GIA, Crystal Muse, some other random crystal healing sites- whatever I can find really 😉
Well thanks for doing such a good job!
broforce was a good game in all honesty
