White Geode

* Perfect
* Exposed

White Geode is the hypothetical fusion of Basalt and White Diamond. She was drawn as part of a Gemsona-HQ prompt.

## Appearance

White Geode would be a massive fusion, standing over a head taller than her larger component. She'd have gray skin, two arms that are disproportionately long, and black fingernails and toenails. Her face would be heart-shaped, and she would have a pointed nose, gray eyes with diamond-shaped pupils, and full lips. Her hair would be pale gray and have a starlike shape. Her Gemstones would be on her forehead and right palm.

White Geode would wear a gray and black dress with dark gray sleeves, a light gray diamond-shaped belt, and a skirt that exposes her lower legs. Her outfit would also have a long gray collar that covers her entire neck., and a transparent gray cape with a light gray stripe down the middle. She would be barefoot, and she would not wear gloves, showing off her fingernails and toenails.

### "Perfect"

Normally, White Geode would appear to have only two eyes, with gray eyeshadow, and black lipstick. Her face would have a dark gray line down the middle, with her top having something similar.

### "Exposed"

When put under stress, White Geode's face would split apart, revealing her true, much paler face, with four eyes, no lipstick or eyeshadow, and jagged teeth. Her top would also open up, revealing a chest cavity full of glowing white crystals.

## Personality

Despite their differences, the personalities of Basalt and White Diamond would mix surprisingly well in White Geode, though not perfectly and definitely not to her benefit. In her "perfect" form, White Geode would seem to be stable, and act confident to the point of appearing pompous. She would be friendly with those her components care about, but try to set herself up as a mother or aunt rather than a friend. However, her pretentiousness would actually be a facade to hide her many insecurities.

The second her stability or emotional strength is brought into question, White Geode would become so unstable that it starts to show physically, through her "exposed" form manifesting. She would become incredibly distressed and try to hide her true face and chest cavity from others, repeatedly insisting she is fine despite all evidence to the contrary, and adamantly refusing to split. This would continue until she either calms down and stabilizes, which would be unlikely, or the stress literally tears her apart.

## Abilities

White Geode would have all standard Gem abilities.

### Skillset

* **Acrobatics:** An ability inherited from Basalt, White Geode would be deceptively nimble for her size.
* **Superhuman Strength:** White Geode would be strong even by Gem standards, an ability received from both her components.

### Unique Abilities

* **"Gempathy":** White Geode would have Basalt's Gempathy, to an extent.
* **Mind Control:** White Geode would have White Diamond's mind control but wouldn't use it, partly due to White Diamond's change in demeanor as of Era 3, and partly due to Basalt's moral compass.
* **Mimicry:** White Geode would be able to dye herself in another Gem's colors, causing her to mimic their behavior and copy their movements. However, she would have difficulty using this ability, partly due to Basalt not wanting to be taken advantage of.

## Relationships

### White Diamond and Basalt

Basalt would have a fear towards White Diamond, but also be able to relate to her, the Diamond reminding her of Crazy Lace Agate. The relationship between White Geode's components would be reflected by her self-acceptance, but tendency to fall apart under stress.

### Crazy Lace Agate

White Geode would be caring towards Crazy Lace Agate, but see herself as an aunt figure and act accordingly. The Agate would be made uncomfortable by this behavior, but she would go along with it anyway out of fear of upsetting Basalt.

### Yellow and Blue Diamond

White Geode would see herself as a motherly figure towards Yellow and Blue Diamond, acting as such. It is likely that one of them would be quick to question the fusion's borderline patronizing demeanor, unintentionally triggering a breakdown.

### Spinel

White Geode would adore Spinel, treating her as a granddaughter and wanting to be in her company. It is likely that Spinel's presence would bring out a playful side in White Geode, manifesting from Basalt.

### Steven Universe

Although White Geode would have a fondness for Steven, Basalt's own discomfort towards him would make White Geode automatically uncomfortable in his presence. She would have difficulty saying anything to him, and would be especially volatile when he's nearby.

## Trivia

* White Geode's fusion dance is named "Communion." A communion is defined as a sharing of intimate thoughts or feelings, especially on a mental or spiritual level.
* White Geode's Gem type was chosen because a real-life geode is a "fusion" between a stone and crystals, and often are found in basalt deposits.
* White Geode is the first hypothetical fusion her creator has designed involving a canon character.
* White Geode's creator has seriously considered redrawing her, as well as drawing the other hypothetical "Geodes" (Yellow, Blue, and Pink Geodes)

## Gemology

Gemstone Information

* A geode is a catch-all term for any rock containing a hollow cavity lined with crystals, normally if not always hidden within the rock and requiring it to be broken open for the crystals to be visible.
	+ Geodes are very similar to nodules, which are rocks containing a cavity completely filled with a mineral, such as jasper or chalcedony. However, the two are not considered the same.
	+ The word "geode" comes from a Greek word meaning "earth-like."
* Geodes are often described as being round, but the shape of the stone itself does not matter when classifying it as a geode.
* Geodes are believed to form in a variety of ways that are too numerous to mention. However, they most generally tend to be created when a bubble somehow forms in a stone deposit, allowing minerals to deposit and crystallize inside.
* Many people are captivated and delighted by geodes, to the point that a profitable geode market exists, and geode-opening demonstrations always draw a crowd.
	+ Because of how valuable geodes can be, fake geodes are often made and sold as the real thing. One such example is a "geode" made out of pottery clay, with crystals glued to the inside to simulate a druse.
* Geodes can occur in a variety of rocks, but the most widely known and sought after geodes are called "volcanic geodes," because they are formed from igneous rocks, often basaltic lava flows.
* Metaphysically, geodes tend to have the properties of whatever crystal is inside them, as well as some properties of their own.
	+ Geodes in general are believed to draw in negative energies, aid in spirituality, and allow for a higher state of understanding.
