Gem Weapons[]

Obsidian is in charge of weapons production for the Gems. They melt off parts of their body to create more obsidian, and then craft weapons from that.

Sword[]

The Sword is the default weapon used by all gems. It is strong, long, and thin, closely resembling a katana. It is made of obsidian.

Ice Saw[]

The Ice Saw is the weapon used by Antarcticite. It is about as long as the sword (listed above), but with a much wider blade. It has large teeth on one side and a squared tip. Antarc uses it for their winter duties, mainly to break up the ice floes. It is similar to ice saws used in colder northern regions, although with a sword-like handle. It is made of obsidian

Scythe[]

 The scythe is a weapon used by Ghost Quartz (and Cairngorm). It resembles a scythe seen in many other series (manga and anime) that is generally seen as unrealistic, as it's mainly a tool used for grass cutting.

Whip[]

 The weapon used by Bort in later chapters. It's a long braided rope with a handle that Bort is capable of using for longer range attacks. It is presumably made out of their hair that was cut off after being damaged by Cinnabar's mercury.

Lunarian Weapons[]

It is unknown who designs and creates the weapons used by the Lunarians and eventually a few Gems. The range of weapon types is much more varied and generally includes lighter colours than the Gems'. Most of the weapons used are long range, or can be used in long range, and give Lunarians an advantage over Gems.

Bow and Arrow[]

The most common weapon seen used by Lunarians is the bow and arrow. The bow is simple in design, especially compared to other Lunarian weapons and resembles a simple longbow. The arrow itself resembles a normal arrow with two lines of fletching. The arrowhead however, has two points and resembles the Greek symbol Ω (omega). It's unknown why they have do not have standard arrowheads.

New Type Weaponry[]

"New type" sunspots generally contain one large Lunarian in the centre, that when broken, reveal a weapon meant to capture Gems. These weapons are embellished with fragments of gemstones, generally those that have been abducted. The weapons range from hooked lines with pink fluorite embellishments, arrows with heliodor tipped arrowheads, to a snare contraption with sapphire spikes.

Cicada's Weapon[]

Cicada is given a weapon during the return of Phos to Earth. It appears to be a blunt force weapon with a grip with two large spherical shapes on either side of the grip. The spherical object appear to have smaller sphere growths coming from them.

Phosphophyllite's Sword[]

Phosphophyllite is the first Gem to obtain a weapon from the Lunarians, which they bring when first brought back to Earth. The double edged sword features a wide blade with an ornamental grip and guard. It resembles an enlarged version of a cinquedea.

Yellow Diamond and Padparadscha's Swords[]

The two swords are similar, and more refined and slimmer than Phos's sword. They have a long ornamental grip.

Cairngorm's Sword[]

Cairngorm's double bladed sword is similar to Phos's in the wide bladed feature, but is double bladed with a grip in the middle.

Diamond's Sword[]

Diamond is given a generic double edged sword with a cute decorations. It breaks easily when breaking Bort.

Alexandrite's Weapon[]

Alexandrite's weapon appears to be more of a blunt force weapon rather than a blade weapon. It's a long pole with a crooked part where Alex holds it, with a spherical piece at the base. Alex can wield it with one or two hands.
