@yaboy-robin

Does Dolo have a limp cuz of a lasting injury or smth?

Yes, actually!

In the bygone days of the gem empire, before Blue and Pink were created- when Yellow Diamond's first colony collapsed, Dolomite.... reprimanded her. Said she had rushed into the whole thing without checking if it was safe. And now thousands of gems would never be born.

Yellow was frail during this time, not knowing a lone Brimstone survived yet, and hit Dolomite. Throwing the much smaller gem into a wall.

Her gems both cracked. And, well, this was a time before healing tears.

Dolomite set her own cracks in private, a procedure that stops glitching and thr crack from growing- but cannot stop pain from the gem stone and cannot be healed in the future.

Yellow learned to not mess with the little fusion who White kept around, lest there be consequences.

"yes, yes, it's very pretty. Now put it down before you poof yourself....."

maybe taff and my dolomite? if that's okay!

Of course! Taaf got distracted by the cane shshh

gosssh thank you so much again for drawing these two!!!

they're just standing there... menacingly

Hi! I'm new here after seeing your thing for White Diamond Steven. I already love all your art and was curious about what gems make up Dolomite

I'd say but it's a secret! ;3c

Dolomite formed very early in gem history, fusing before several of the earliest gem types had a concrete purpose. She excitedly showed White their new form. The way the two gems combined naturally hid their two gemstones, and thus White could not see who these gems were. She would have known if she could see. This is one of the main reasons why White kept Dolomite around. A secret not even the Great White Diamond knew. It was best to keep that close. That, and if she decided to do away with this fusion, it could be close to do so with.

Dolomite's components is meant to be one of the great mysteries of the "replace all canon gems with ocs" au (racgwocs au). Like with Fluorite's components, the audience, and characters within the show, are never meant to know.

That being said, she does have two canon components! She is made of two gems who are deeply in love and are never apart, like Garnet. <3

"Hey, Coral, what about this guy? Who is this supposed to be?"

>gasp< "Oh! They even included the right hands! Well, most of them. I don't think B*tch Crystal was around at the time. But still- The detail-!"

"The.... right hands? The Diamonds have more than one?"

"No, Steven. These are the Diamond's innermost confidants! The elite of the elite! They work beside their diamond always, and are all one-of-a-kind gems like the Diamonds!"

"So- They're like- Their best friends?"

"No, Steven, the Diamonds don't have time for friendship."

Dolomite - The mysterious and powerful

Brimstone - The permafrost paragon

B*tch Crystal - The fabulous king

Petalite - The forgotten hermit

For fun "murals" of the diamond's right hands that have them in the poses of their diamond's murals.

thank you so much for drawing her again!!! she came out so wonderful!! 💖💖💖

Reference sheet commission for @yaboy-robin !

She was great to work with! I never thought reference sheets could be fun

A quick edited side by side of the three main right hands of the Diamonds. Good height comparison references for the three! Brimstone is ever so slightly shorter than Pearl, coming to her nose, and B*tch Crystal would have Pearl come to the notch in his gem horn.

quick re-do of the concept for "cotton candy" Dolomite! Not set in stone of course.

Utterly fascinated by their- her new form, and wanting to show it to the highest gem, White Diamond, to show her the potential fusion has. White kept her close. At first, just in case she decided this new fusion was not worth the trouble. But, after, because this fusion was helpful. And, well, a mystery that not even the great white diamond knows? She had to keep that close.

Dolomite doesn't have her cane yet and does not limp without it in this form. :^) That doesn't happen until Yellow Diamond learns not to insult or injure this fusion that is near White Diamond. Lest there be consequences.

"See that fusion up there?"

"Yeah. What the hell is a dumb fusion doing on White Diamond's throne?"

"Shhhh!!! Not so loud!"

"What? Are you....Scared of that fusion? Hah! They don't look so tough-"

"Charoite! You're gonna get in trouble!"

"How? Is the big bad fusion gonna try to fuse with me? I'm soooo scared! I bet I could take that dainty thing-"

"Hm. I wasn't really aiming for looking dainty. I was aiming for.... Imposing."

"A-And you do look imposing, my Dolomite! P-Please forgive Charoite for her insult, she's new!"

"I'm not sorry! I meant every word!"

"Really. Including the part where you thought you could.... hm.... 'take' me?"

"Charoite no-!"

"You bet! I'll woop your fancy- GGGGKKKK-!"

"Hm. Didn't even get to finish her sentence. Please take her gemstone to a reformation barracks. And inform her of her mistake. I will not be so forgiving next time."

"Y-Yes, my Dolomite!"

Aaaaaa I love her so muuuuuch! Thank you again so much for drawing her!!!!

Another commission for @yaboy-robin

(reposting due to tag issues)

I thought it would be fun to draw @ask-whitepearl-and-steven ‘s Steven and my personal gem oc Dolomite interacting! A small drabble to go with this under the cut

Steven hummed to himself while holding tight onto the fidgeting Sea Glass. The crystal gems thought perhaps Adventurine had fled into the nearby woods for the hiding space, so the gems were all camping here for a few days to look for her. 

Currently, Steven had been told to stay put while the gems handled a noise that was likely to belong to a corrupted gem nearby. He knew he could fight, but would rather not fight if not necessary. So, he sat against the tree. Waiting for the gems to return.

Dolomite returned before the other gems, parting the brush with frustration - sticks in her perfect hair and scuffs over her suit. "I hate foliage."

"Dolomite!" Steven called to his room mate and.... friend? Dolomite was hard to read, being so quiet and staring at him quietly a lot. She said she knew White Diamond before he was.... this. But never said much about the before. Said that she preferred to keep those sorts of things private. Steven considered her a friend, even if she was hard to talk to sometimes. She had saved him so much, it was hard not to. "Are you okay?"

"You look like shit!" Sea Glass barked with a wide grin. 

"Sea Glass!" Steven squawked, "where did you learn-"

"Amethyst!" Sea Glass grinned up at Steven diabolically. 

"Of course," Steven sighed exasperatedly. Dolomite had brushed herself off at this point, thrown her cane to the side, and went to sit..... But instead twisted herself so she could sit upside down against a tree. Letting her legs fall forward to the ground in front of herself and folding her two sets of arms in front of her stomach. 

Steven smiled slightly at the silliness of the formal gem sitting so oddly. "I wanna do that!" CG wrangled herself out of Steven's arms and sat next to Dolomite, maneuvering so she could sit on her head as well. But, she quickly fell over with an "oof!"

Dolomite took a deep breath. In through her mouth. Out through her nose. "What are you even doing?" Steven chuckled lightly as CG tried to maneuver herself to sit on her head again. Not like she had any blood, so it wouldn't hurt her to do so.

Dolomite's eyes flicked over to Steven, before speaking tiredly, "I'm letting the light in my form rush to my gem. It gives me a little more energy to deal with this.... foliage. It can be done standing but...." Dolomite shrugged, "I thought this would be comfortable," there was a pause and a wrinkling of her nose, "It isn't." 

Steven laughed before pausing. Her gem, huh.... "Hey, Dolomite-" Steven looked her up and down. He'd never seen it before. Was it rude to ask? "Where is your gem?"

Dolomite blinked a moment. She let herself fall to the side, before writing her posture to be sitting up. She stared off into the trees. Steven sweated, seeing her distant expression. "I'm sorry- Is it rude to ask-"

"No." Dolomite interrupted, one arm moving to help CG sit on her head with support. She watched CG's happy smile for a moment as she sat oddly. "For most gems, where our gems are is a statement." She motioned with another arm, "You have a big heart, you're nurturing and kind-" She leaned forward and tapped his gem gently, "You favor thinking things through more than others. All gems wear them loudly and openly, to absorb light and to show how they may stand out from the thousands of other gems out there. But-" She looked away for a moment, "I..... Not even you have seen my gems." 

"Yeah, I haven't," Steven tilted his head, "That's why I asked where-"

"I'm sorry." Dolomite shook her head, "I meant..... Not even White saw them. Before." 

Oh. Steven swallowed. CG fell to the side again. She looked between the two before crawling back to Steven’s lap. Ignoring the serious conversation. "I kept it a secret. Keep it a secret." Dolomite did not meet Steven's eyes, looking distantly. "I don't know why. Maybe some part of me likes the air of mystery. Not even the Diamonds knew! Surely, that made me special. Made me stand out. Maybe that's what attracted her to me in the first place. My confidence to show that I was special. Like her. She never said why she kept me. She just.... did." Dolomite played with her hair for a moment. watching the white strands curl between her fingers. "Sometimes I think I was lucky. That she didn't make an example out of me. That she saw my bright-eyed loyalty to show her our new form, and eventually made me her right hand when Yellow made the position. Instead of making me her puppet."

"Dolomite, I-" Steven started, leaning forward a comforting hand. His brows furrowed a second. "Wait, 'our'?"

Dolomite smiled at Steven tiredly, “Steven- It thought you realized by now. The two eyes on one side, the four arms-” She chuckled before motioning to herself, “I’m a fusion.”

Steven stared at her in shock, before shouting so loud he would find he scared off the corrupted gem monster later-

“YOU’RE A WHAT?!”

“Ah! My Diamond! It is good to see you return from another successful conquest. All my reports on decisions made in your place are completed and in the usual location by your throne. Your usual after siege entertainment has already been ordered and will be arriving to your private quarters in exactly 30 OWLTs. Is there anything else I can do for you, my Diamond?”

C1, Dolomite

yellow gon get a lecture about attempting to shatter all the rose quartzes without permission. 

Decided to redesign Dolomite. with bits pulled from @pocket-gems lovely redesign of her! 

OHHHH I LOVE IT! That design is so cute! I actually like this more than the original design as;ldkjfla;sdl;; thank you so much for doin it!!

If you're okay with it and still open to them I'd love to see your redesign take on my dolomite!

💫 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 💫

another gem from my oc au that I’ve been sitting on for a bit. In this au, mixed gem  fusions are legal. Dolomite uses she/they pronouns.

This is Dolomite. One of the oldest gems in existence. Older than even Yellow and Blue Diamond. And one of the most mysterious. No one knows what their components are (although the fact that her gems are upon her forehead and her upper right palm are known to a few). No one alive knows when, how, or why they formed. No one knows if her cane is summoned or built by some long shattered gem. 

What is known, is that iths gem is one of, if not the highest ranked non diamond gem. They are the right hand to White Diamond, being her favorite gem. She knows secrets to gem kind only White is privy to. She keeps White’s schedules, her notes, her counts, attends appointments in her place, and anything else the Diamond orders of them. Often, they even come in the place of White Diamond and makes a ruling for her, knowing what their Diamond would like best. 

They do own a Pearl, and find the Pearl beautiful. They gift her many treasures meant for war heroes and the like. Even gems trapped within objects for her to wear. Only the best for their Pearl. 

Dolomite’s cane is always with them. They use it to assist their walking, as it seems they have a slight limp. The can can turn into a lightning shooting destabilizer at will. 

Dolomite has never poofed in public. They have gotten hurt in attacks, of course. But they always manage to keep it together long enough to poof in private. Even one time going as far as to report to White Diamond while still having a spear impaled through their abdomen. 

Dolomite is considered the most powerful non Diamond gem, and is highly respected and feared. Despite her being a fusion (mixed gem fusions are still treated not great in this au). Yellow Diamond thinks it’s ridiculous she has to report to a fusion of all things most of the time. Blue Diamond finds Dolomite charming, and thinks White keeps her for decoration. A walking, talking, very high rank decoration. But both know better than to insult them.
