Disgustedorite's Gem Seed AU/Successful Crosses

This is a list of known successful crosses between different types of Gem. As Gems reproducing naturally is incredibly rare, this list is short and rarely updated.

Crosses that can be grown in natural environments
These are crosses that were either successfully incubated in natural environments or in artificial environments matching natural environments.

Quartz x Corundum
This cross was discovered when a ship that had been lost during Era 1 was eventually found crashed on a small planet in uncharted space in early Era 2. No survivors of the original crew were found, but seventeen viable Gems were found incubating in a makeshift Kindergarten, and when they emerged they were found to be the offspring of a Jasper and a Ruby. They all emerged with gemstones made of Orange Chabazite, a mineral found in the surrounding environment.

Later studies determined that all crosses between any Quartz (Jaspers, Agates, etc) and any Corundum (Rubies, Sapphire's etc) are able to grow in any environment capable of growing any variety of Zeolite, which Chabazite is a common variety of. Roughly 1/3 of all seeds produced by standard Quartzes and Rubies and about half of all seeds produced by standard Quartzes and Sapphires are not viable and will not incubate.

Crosses that have to be grown in artificial environments
These are crosses that have never been found to be capable of incubating in natural environments, but have been successfully incubated in artificial environments.
