Requirements for a perfect gem
How to make Jasper, basically.
The mixture of essence must be 100% balcanced and pure.
The surrounding rock must have an unusually high mineral and nutrient content.
NO impurities, either damaging impurities or trace minerals can be present.
The incubation must be unusually hot. I gathered this from the glass around Jasper's emerging hole, where her emergence may have melted the sandstone around her.
The injection surface must be 100% smooth.
I made the criteria deliberately difficult to show just how rare a perfect specimen of a gem is. That’s why Jasper is much higher in the Caste system than you would expect of an ordinaru quartz.

Gem Formation Theory
I have come up with a possible theory as to how gem formation works. A basic formula for it is:
Mix of diamond esssence + Appropriate rock + Trace minerals = Gem!
For example: amythests are a purple colour, so a pink and blue diamond essence mixture is injected. They are a type of quartz, so a Silicon Dioxide based rock, such as granite, should be used. Ta da! An amythest!
Organic gems can be created using the same basic process, with a few alterations. Ambers use the same process, but instead of rock, they are injected into trees.
Pearls, specifically, are made not using diamond essence, but narce essence. Narces are the only gems other than the diamonds capable of producing essence that will create gems. The essence is then injected into a specially dug hole in an underwater kindergarten. Ta da! A Pearl!
Finally, trace elements. They are used to change the features of a gem. An example is Amythest 8XJ, whose iron deposits near her injection site caused her curly hair.
I hope this theory is helpful!
