Why would Yellow Diamond have poofed them both if she was just going to let the prosecutor go afterward?

It'd be a waste for YD to shatter any gems now since they're in a resource crisis. It'd be better to rehabilitate them.
Creator of Heroes of Thantopolis: http://heroesofthantopolis.com/Weird thought regarding fusions existing as a regular gem type, Stevonnie is obviously going to be the exception but if they really wanted to there's Stevensite
I don't think they'll have a gem type whose namesake is (so obviously) a real person or place, else they'd risk some really blatant Orphaned Etymology. Holly Blue Agate is already pushing it (and even in that was spelled differently).
Lauren Zuke posted this comic about Barnmates
. Talks about family death so be warned.
@51681 Eh... I think that the argument that they wouldn't use a gem so obviously named after a location would have been stronger if you didn't then name a gem very blatantly named after a location (given that, in the real world, Holley blue agate really is only found near Holley, Oregon). For that matter, if naming a gem after a gem named after real people was verboten in Steven Universe, the fusion of Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl would not be named Alexandrite. And while maybe not as prominent, nor would the Garnet/Amethyst fusion be named Sugilite (named after its discoverer, Dr. Ken-ichi Sugi).
This is why I've always ran with the headcanon that there are Translator Microbes involved - gems are just using their own names for them, and we're just hearing what they'd be translated as. Consequently, this does have me wondering if we'll one day run across a gem type that's based off of a theoretical real-world gemstone.
Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.

The Zircons were bubbled? Huh... I'm not terribly surprised about Defense Zircon getting bubbled, since it appears she started stumbling towards a truth Yellow Diamond didn't want out. Prosecution Zircon is a bit more of a surprise; I didn't know YD would be that zealous in keeping things under wraps.
