Guys guys I drew my first daughter.

Seaglass of the Seawings!

She is a quiet yet ambitious dragon, full of dreams and ideas for a new world for her and her partner, Hawk of the Skywings (who will be drawn later)

She also is a transfem girlie who uses she/they/xey pronouns!!

You are more knowledgeable about stones n stuff then anyone I know besides my cousin (cus it's his job XD) but he's not in the SU fandom. Anyway do you know of any stones that are black/really dark besides Tahitian pearl and I guess more importantly how is the SU fandom when it comes to gem oc's that are not super female? They are genderless right?

Ahh, I’m flattered. X3 (Man, I wish I could find a job in minerology.)

I sorted these into three lists: Gems that are dark/black, followed by gems that CAN be black but aren’t always, and then synthetic/organic non-”gem” minerals.

Black gems: jet (or banded jet), black tourmaline / “schorl”, obsidian/snowflake obsidian, graphite, basalt, tektite, stibnite, romanechite

Gems that are often very dark and aren’t known for being black, but CAN be black: marble, granite, labradorite, hematite, dioptase, boleite, corundum varieties in general, chalcedony, black agate, azurite, parts of peacock ore (bornite or chalcopyrite), boulder opal, chrysocolla, goethite, seraphinite, fluorite, mica, sphalerite, tennantite, andesite,black salt, black talc, osmium, magnetite, chromite, arsenpyrite, galena, molybdenite, ilmenite, pretty much any mineral that’s based on a metal molecule can be black.

^ I have pictures of most of those on my blog, tagged just with their name if you want to see them. (I know for sure I have a ton of dark fluorite and azurite, and I learned like 85% of this list from images I saw and reblogged.

(Also garnet, amethyst, jasper, and snowflake obsidian, and smoky quartz when it’s exposed to very highly intense heat, but those have all been mentioned/used in canon.)

Other minerals that are black, because Crewniverse said that any mineral, even organic and synthetic ones, are fair game in the SU world: coal, pitch, black goldstone, pumice (rarely), black corals, maybe even black seaglass if we really want to stretch.

So, regarding a Gem’s gender: Crewniverse has said that if a Gem OC identifies as male, or genderless, or whatever gender they like: that’s fine! Word of God acceptance right there.

“Super feminine” is subjective. And we’ve seen Jasper, Topaz, Amethyst, and even Rose Quartz all doing things that aren’t traditionally feminine, or designed so they’re not “super feminine”.

Keep in mind, Steven Universe is a social commentary as much as it is a fictional universe. And they are ALL about representation and advocacy.

Certain areas of the fandom aren’t so nice about it, but it’s a matter of finding the right people.

Guys - Seaglass sounds like sapphire from su and Watermelon sounds like sonata dusk from eqg. I haven't decided on Hawk's voice claim yet
