Gemstone Information

Sapphire's gemstone on Garnet; it has a crimson red complexion with a triangular facet. As seen in "The Return" and the flashback in "Jail Break", it has a light blue ring around the edge (normally hidden inside her hand), and is flatter on the back. Its overall shape is circular. It is located on her right palm Ruby's gemstone on Garnet; it has a crimson red complexion with a square facet. As seen in "The Return" and the flashback in "Jail Break", it has a pink ring around the edge (normally hidden inside her hand), and is flatter on the back. Its overall shape is circular. It is located on her left palm.

Gemstone Weapon - Gauntlets

Garnet usually dual-wields her gauntlets on both hands, and they are the only weapons to regenerate with different designs. Her gauntlets cover half her lower arms at normal size and her whole lower arms when she increases their size. Before regenerating, her gauntlets have red and light-red spirals around the entire shafts, red and dark red fingers, and contain the same star motif on the tops and bases of the gauntlets.

Skills

Gauntlet Proficiency: When channeling the collective power of the universe through her gemstones, Garnet can summon a pair of gauntlets. Garnet is highly proficient when using her gauntlets and is extremely skilled in hand-to-hand combat. She can deal massive strikes that can deal a heavy amount of damage and deliver swift blows with lightning speed. As of "Bismuth", Garnet's gauntlets have had spiked brass knuckles added onto them. Rocket Gauntlets: Garnet takes aim with her gauntlets and shoots them as projectiles in "Watermelon Steven". In "Reformed", after Garnet launches her gauntlets, her hands are detached from her body, and her gemstones are moved to the stubs of her arms. Weapon Size Augmentation: Garnet can increase the size of her gauntlets, easily quadrupling their size, and deal increased damage at the cost of reduced speed. This was hinted during "Garnet's Universe". Being an imaginary story, that means Steven knew about that power before the real debut in "Warp Tour". Deflection: Garnet can use her gauntlets as shields as seen in "Onion Trade" to deflect a volley of Dave Guys. They are also used in "Catch and Release" to block Peridot's electrokinetic discharge in Amethyst's whip, although it is unknown whether Garnet simply prevented the electric current using her gauntlets or absorbed it with her electrokinesis. Shock Wave Emission: As seen in "Gem Harvest", Garnet can pound her gauntlets into something and create a shock wave strong enough to make something, such as carrots, fly out of the ground.

Crystals Gemstone Abilities PT1

Garnet possesses standard Gem abilities: bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, gravity shifting, weapon-Summoning, photokinesis, gem storage, and superhuman strength/durability. Garnet has a high tolerance for pain, as shown in "So Many Birthdays" when she displays no visible reaction, let alone discomfort when Amethyst blindly swings a baseball bat at the side of her head. This is explained and justified since she is a fusion of two Gems. While not outright invincible, it is shown that Garnet is more physically durable than Pearl or Amethyst. It is shown that she endures different levels of damage almost daily, withstanding falling cars, scuffles with Jasper, and various other forms of physical force.

Immense Durability: Garnet is also extremely durable. In "Giant Woman", she states that she can swim on lava. In "Ocean Gem" and later in "Jailbreak", she withstands being attacked hard enough to through the ground, by Lapis Lazuli and Jasper respectively. She can tank hits from powerful Gems such as Jasper, Bismuth and Topaz. Shapeshifting: Garnet, like most Gems, can shapeshift, she mostly uses her shapeshifting skills to stretch her arms, but she occasionally turns into other things too, as seen in "Keep Beach City Weird" when she shapeshifted into Steven. Photokinesis: In "It Could've Been Great", Garnet can be seen using photokinesis, she can use her gemstone to project a red light, like a flashlight. Bubbling: Garnet is able to bubble objects. Her bubbles are red and are sent to the Burning Room inside the Temple. Gem Storage: Garnet can materialize different items out of her gemstone(s). In "Serious Steven", she summoned the key to the Pyramid Temple and in "Giant Woman" and "Love Letters", she summoned her goggles.

Future Vision: Garnet can see multiple future outcomes and probabilities with her third eye. This includes extremely unlikely and ridiculous outcomes, as a considerable amount of her available visions depict Steven's (and possibly other individuals') demise at the hands of mundane tasks or objects regularly. Future vision must be used consciously and takes some time to use, as Garnet has been shown in a thinking position when activating it. During that time, someone can alter the future, as seen in "Marble Madness", when Steven ruined the plan to learn about Peridot by going up to her while Garnet was still using future vision. Garnet must also consciously seek out specific details and judge which possible futures are most probable, which means she can overlook some possibilities, such as Pearl deceiving her in "Cry for Help". Garnet's visor improves her clarity and focuses while using future vision,but she can still use the ability with it off, as demonstrated in "Reunited" when she foresaw the Diamonds' arrival.

Heat Resistance: Her invulnerability is often displayed in her extreme resistance to heat, from when she had scalding-hot coffee splash onto her without flinching in "Future Vision" to when she left to retrieve the Earth Beetle (which required her to swim in active lava) in "Giant Woman". It has also been said that she could swim in the core of the Sun and survive. This may be because of Ruby's thermo-regulation. Enhanced Calculations: Garnet mentions her ability to sense structural integrity in "Cheeseburger Backpack". It is currently unknown whether this is a unique power, a separate portion of her heightened senses like her future vision, or just a simple observation. Electrokinesis: Garnet can generate electricity, as seen in "The Message" when she used it to charge the battery of Greg's van, "Catch and Release" when she was tangling with Peridot, and "Arcade Mania" when she restarted "Meat Beat Mania" after Steven unplugged the game. Garnet has this ability due to the combination of Ruby's pyrokinesis and Sapphire's cryokinesis. Electric Resistance: Garnet is impervious to electricity, as seen in "Future Vision" when she easily deflected a lightning bolt that was about to hit her and Steven with her gemstone. It is seen again in "Catch and Release" when she stopped Peridot's electricity from traveling down Amethyst's whip, only to send her electricity back at her. It was also used in "That Will Be All" when she caught Holly Blue Agate's electric whip in her hands to stop it from hitting Greg and Steven

Electric Jump: In "When It Rains", Garnet uses her electrokinesis on the offensive for the second time, generating electricity and releasing it on impact with the ground, where the energy then travels to the target. This particular move is long-ranged. Super Speed: In "Arcade Mania", Garnet karate chops the inner arms of the Gem Cave Creature and shakes Meat Beat Mania's ham controllers at incredible speeds. In "The Message", Garnet quickly places couch cushions around the Wailing Stone. In "Bismuth", Garnet engages Bismuth in combat with an immensely fast approach. She inherited this ability from Sapphire.

Body

Garnet is the tallest of the Crystal Gems we meet in the show's debut. She has three eyes, which are usually hidden behind a pair of shades. Her right eye is a medium ruby-red, her left a medium sapphire-blue, while the center third eye is an dark purple color, a mix of the other two. Her gemstones are embedded in the palms of her hands. Like Ruby, she has a deep violet cube-shaped afro and a magenta skin tone, while her facial features more closely resemble Sapphire's, with a square jaw, and plump lips.

Appearance

Garnet continued to wear the same bodysuit, but with a different color scheme and pattern. As opposed to crimson and black, her bodysuit became more colorful. Her right half was covered in a midnight stocking, and her left was covered in a dark orchid stocking. Her skin tone also changed, now a soft cerise color rather than red. Her weapons became a dark crimson color. However, there is a ring of black on the outside closest to her arms, and the glowing aura that appears when summoning them became pale magenta. Instead of a gold star on the end facing her arms, they are just plain orange. The star on her top's color also changed - instead of a pink star with a magenta outline, it became an amaranth-colored star with a soft-pink outline. Her hair was changed from black to dark-purple and became shorter and smaller than before. Her shades, instead of pale-orange and white, became a soft-pink and pale-blue. Her shoulder pads were pear-like instead of cube-like, and both were a dark orchid color as well as her arms and gloves. This costume lacked contrast in colors compared to her pre-regeneration outfit. The two halves of her lower body were separated straight down the middle as opposed to the left thigh before regeneration. Her shades also changed colors from pale red to blue frequently to indicate Ruby or Sapphire's impulse in Garnet.
