About Spirit Quartz (Cactus Quartz, Porcupine Quartz ): Spirit Quartz is a quartz crystal that has little crystals sprouting off it.
How this can be in the show: I think whatever is in the injectors eats away at a cluster of amethyst and shapes it into the gem cut its supposed to have while they’re incubating. So a Amethyst spirit Quartz’s Gem wouldn't look much different once it forms. But what you could add onto it to make it different from other amethyst is small extra characteristics to the amethyst’s design. You could say the reason for this is since the crystal she came from didn't have flat sides, whatever is in those injectors that shapes a gem is programmed to work with crystals with flat sides. Since this particular Amethyst had a bunch of tiny crystals on it, the cut of their gem isn't perfect. The extra characteristics in the design that I am talking about is stuff like having six fingers instead of five, wisdom teeth, extra teeth like two behind each other, double irises, odd eyes, fused pupils, maybe having small spikes naturally without being corrupted, stuff like that. You could also say that since she had crystals growing off of her while she was incubating that some amethyst split off from her, Technically making her a mom to some of them, Gemetically speaking. Once they would form she would just be called amethyst like the rest since she doesn't look much different. Quartzes are seen as disposable soldiers so she wouldn't be given her own name. Though it would probably say something about her being different from the others from reports the peridots in charge of the prime kindergarten took during their incubation. But since “spirit” and “cactus” aren't words homeworld would use since cactus is a plant from earth and spirit is a concept humans made up it would probably say that she was a “Host Amethyst” since some amethyst split off from her. She probably wouldn't be made aware of her title until they would somehow stumble upon the reports. The famethyst would probably jokingly call her “mama quartz” and as a comeback would call them children and tell them it's past their bedtime and go to bed or not to talk to their mama that way. It's all in good fun though.
Note: The metaphysical properties of Amethyst spirit quartz are the same as normal amethyst.
Metaphysical properties of Amethyst Spirit Quartz: Amethyst is known as a powerful and protective gem. Its suppose to help with panic attacks, helps with being able to love and feel love, and protects against stress and threats from others. It also helps sooth irritability, gets rid of anger,rage, fear, and anxiety. Amethyst will also help with sadness and grief.
Note: Since the metaphysical properties didn't change I can't really write up a different personality for her, but you can give her a different personality from the other amethyst by giving her a personality depending on her gem placement and how she would have been treated by gems in her kindergarten and by how her superiors would treat her due to looking off-color.
She would probably be treated the worst out of the prime kindergarten quartzes due to her odd characteristics by the agates, calling her off-color, a mistake, a mutant, and worst things. Her kindergarten mates would always comfort her after once they got the chance, but she would still have doubts that she was worth just as much as the rest of them. On the battlefield she would always put herself in harm's way to shield her kindergarten mates from the enemy’s blows. They would call her brave but she didn't run head first into battle because she was brave. Due to her problem with self worth, she wasn't afraid to die, the only cared about if other people were safe. The others don't really pick up on what's wrong till Pink Diamond’s death when she starts taking more risks and she starts to distance herself from her group. Her sister quartzes don't ask her about it since they have bigger concerns on their mind at that point so they just try to protect her more during battles. They all just thought she was angry about Pink Diamonds death since she would still joke around and act ok like nothing was wrong. She manages to survive the war and finally breaks down and tell her sister quartzes about her problems once they are stationed at the zoo. She is able to heal at the zoo after being safe from the war and after meeting the betas. She makes quick friends with the betas because they came out off-color like her. She is able to accept herself for who she is over the years and becomes stronger because of it. I think she would be the only one of the famethyst to not want to return to earth because she would feel that the zoo is the only place that she would be happy in since earth is a battlefield full of bad memories for her and the zoo is the place where she felt the safest in a long time. She would come back to earth eventually but she is going to need a lot of support from the rest of the famethyst.
Where found: Spirit Quartzes are only found in South Africa, but dont let that stop you from making her part of the Famethyst.
