Centipeetle is a nephrite..... a.... Nepherite....
Her gem is a trapiche emerald. It is. It looks like one. The color is too neon to be nephrite. It has stripes and a ring in the middle, not spots.
She even looks and acts like emerald. The white fuzz, piloting a ship, spikey teeth... etc...
But nope, she’s nepherite... jade....
I know people are saying “called it! you guys are idiots!” but no. It doesn’t matter. They made a poor, illogical choice. Just like amethyst + garnet = sugilite, an unrelated gem. Just like lapis + jasper = malachite, again, an unrelated gem.
Do they not have access to wikipedia? Or google? Or did they just change her to a nephrite because they figured that’s what most fans thought she was?
I know it’s a stupid thing to be be mad about, but.... it’s stupid. It’s like lightsabers having crossguards. It was a poor decision and nephrite will always be Trapiche Emerald in my head.
The next episode they’re gonna un-corrupt the ice monster and be like “Oh look, it’s an era 1 ruby, obviously! Can’t you tell? She’s blue, has ice powers, spikes, her gem is hexagonal, yep! Definitely a ruby!”
