All gemstone start life in a similar manner, getting formed from materials normally found in dark dirt, clay, and most commonly, bedrock. But this is only their physical bodies. The theory is that their souls to first come from Bytopia or Ysgard, but it has yet to be determined, due to their appearance being so strange and sudden.
