Just to clarify... I'm not using the Sonic comics to "prove" the theory by any means. The conclusion that the Emeralds are quartz is based solely on evidence from the games: Color and Behavior. I'm then using the comic lore to draw parallels that I thought were interesting as I researched, like the radiation and compression machine. So the fact that the comic lore isn't canon doesn't have any actual bearing on the conclusion that I reached in the theory...or maybe the radioactive quartz means that lore is more canon than you might think... ;)
The Game Theorists Love the theories, and want to see moat. But... looking at past theories, he DOES NOT run faster than the speed of sound, like you explained in the previous sonic liar theory. Just saying. Still loved this theory. 😉
I absolutely DESPISE MYSELF FOR KNOWING THIS, but in the same origin comics that’s being quoted, it specifically states that the Xorda’s gene bombs interacted with “beryl deposits” underground, and that originally, all chaos emeralds were in fact green and were quite numerous. It wasn’t until some “crisis on infinite earths” level shenanigans that I don’t recall the specifics of, that the multiple green emeralds were fused into the singular green emerald, with the other “emeralds” being transported in from other planets, and therefore likely having a different mineral composition, thus explaining their unusual color.
I know this too :D and was going to write a comment about it. then I saw your comment and decided to up vote it. really this whole theory picked and choses what lore it wants while ignoring the rest. if you think about it all the gems are grey unless energized. and grey is a color for beryl crystal.
Shaun Martin yeah, MatPat seems to have a tendency to cherry pick certain pieces of info to better suit the “theory”. I was also going to mention that the emerald’s alternate universe versions are known as “Anarchy Beryl” but decided against it.
Just want to point out. The pink gem in Sonic Mania is actually called Phantom Ruby and is no more related to the Chaos Emeralds than the Time Stones are.
Topaz isn't a quartz and sapphires can be any color other than red or dark pink. Yes, if a ruby is a pink that's fairly light in color, it is still a ruby.
@@yotess3872 pink corundum can be classified as either ruby or sapphire and sapphire isn't just a "blue ruby", it's any form of corundum that's not red. And topaz is it's own mineral, not yellow quartz. Yellow quartz is called citrine.
"Green color of quartz comes from radiation exposure" - shows biohazard warning in background instead of ionizing radiation warning - 99/100 Mat, keep trying (Love the vids btw
Well, that's just one instance where he messed up. The other being the two games that prove his theory absolutely wrong. The emeralds aren't the color given to them, but rather the energy within them makes them that color. The emeralds are dark gray, all 7 of them. MatPat himself said emeralds can be green or a dark gray. Yet he ignored Sonic Adventure and Sonic Unleashed, the two games that absolutely proved him wrong. In SA, the emeralds only lose their negative energy, causing them to develop a slightly grayish tone, but kept some color due to the positive energy. Later in Unleashed, they lose all of their energy and turn a solid dark gray.
MatPat: the more you pick apart the Sonic canon the weirder it gets. That’s because you used two different Sonic canons. In Archie the chaos emeralds of Mobius were originally green
Radiation that makes hedgehogs that moves faster than the speed of sound? Matpat... Why are you lying to me You told me sonic couldn't move past the speed of sound.
Well, apparently in MatPat's home-grown lore, Mario cheated on Peach with Pauline in Donkey Kong despite said game being about his father, and Pauline being his father's love interest.
That's true. I don't think it'd be fair to blame MatPat for the people that disproportionately take his theories as fact, but it's a little annoying that he constantly brings up old theories when they have barely any relevance. I wouldn't say that makes him a bad person, but I will say it makes him look a bit worse. No offence to him.
Because in Sonic Adventure and Sonic X you can use the chaos emerald’s powers with your emotions. Chaos was made because everybody’s heart was filled with hate while trying to get the chaos emeralds. So since Eggman doesnt use that power for love he’d probably create another chaos or do something even worse. Thats how Sonic became Super Sonic in Sonic X. Everybody gave sonic their emeralds in friendship which made them recharge.
@TurboGem Plays all emeralds where green and not from the planet, the world was bombed and humans became Mobians and animals had rapid evolution from the bombing, robotnik is a surviving human some how. Your talking lore from the 90s but it doesn't help that he's mixing classic and modern lore.
4:50 what a coincidence the only chaos emerald that is an emerald shares its color with the most powerful of them all : the master emerald. Maybe they knew all along.
Also convenient how the *I will call him this cause I don't have a better term* Chaos creature of the Sonic troupe often is depicted with the GREEN emerald. Looks like Gerald did some research.
Something noted in the Sonic Wiki, the 7 Chaos Emeralds are meant to be based on the colour spectrum. You have the 3 primary colours in Red, Green and Blue, and for secondary colours, Red and Blue make Magenta (Purple), Green and Blue make Cyan (Light Blue) and Red and Green make Yellow. All the colours combined create White Light, aka the Clear Emerald.
Me watching this video MatPat: 0:21 Until, you know, you look it up and you find out that Super Saiyan form premiered in the manga issue that came out in August 1991 and Sonic was released June of 1991. Me: ACTUALLY (pulls out fancy reading glasses with "Nitpicking" engraved with gold on the side)THE SUPER SONIC FORM DEBUTED (MatPat interrupts revealing the joke)oh wait, he... already said that... welp life is meaningless.
Ikr! We got Aquamarine, Emerald ( spoiler ), Topaz, Ruby, Sapphire, this is basically SU but without using the words Steven Universe and just adding Sonic and Mat Pat in.
Swap the white gem for a orange gem then You have the human souls from undertale Red = determination Orange (white) = bravery Yellow = justice Green = Kindness Cyan = patience Dark blue = interiority Purple = Perseverance
Two things, from a bit of a sonic fan myself here. 1: I'd like to point out that the one gem that's been above the other 7 since the early days, the *Master Emerald*, is in fact green. 2: The "8th" gem shown in Sonic Mania isn't actually a chaos emerald. It's an entirely separate gem known as the Phantom Ruby.
MatPat retiring made me go back and watch all his theories. This was the first one I ever watched so this one holds a significance in my life because it led me to subscribe and now I’ve been watching MatPat’s videos for 6 years now.
Wishes can give super powers. Like the wishes in canon can't like directly raise your power but people were wishing for immortality which is definitely a super power. you could probably wish to turn invis or fly (if you couldnt with ki) as well. the balls definitely can give super powers.
4:07, funny that emeralds are in the beryl family because in the archie comics, the anti-sonic known as scourge uses a version called anarchy beryl. I always wonder why it was called that, now I know.
I'm starting to kinda see a pattern here... Undertale: "7 human souls to do what every NPC in the game wants to happen" dragon ball Z: "7 dragon balls to acquire ultimate power" Sonic: "7 shiny rocks to become very powerful"
One problem with this theory. The Archie comics mention that all the different colors come from different planets other than mobius. The one that does come from mobius is green.
An oversight, perhaps, but how does it affect the conclusion? Quartz is made of very common elements and is likely to occur on other planets. There's quartz on Mars, for instance.
+SuperManBoy1 But the video already explains why they cannot be emeralds. Emeralds don't come in purple. That colour simply doesn't exist, on any planet.
No their not emeralds... But in Japan were the game was developed the term emerald is used as a blanket term for any stone of gem quality like how in Texas the word coke is use a blanket term for any soft drink.
I mean this is a universe where hedgehogs can be blue foxes can have two tails and fly and a 280 pound man can run 60miles per hour so is it unreasonable to say there could be purple beryl? I dont know
Hey matpat, I know it seemed unpopular at the time, but do you think you could try bringing back matpat's final thoughts for an episode? Just to see if people start liking it again?
X naM ageM Reversed I don't know if you know this but he mentioned in a video that the reason he stopped was that people heard the summary start and stopped the video, affecting his statistics. I can't remember the video, but I hope that helps :)
Just by that comment you’re going to make me think of a fan movie called Sega infinity war The sonic characters would be the Avengers and the other series’s would be the X-Men and guardians of the galaxy
@@eleniaslaundaglu4650 Dumbass. You do realize that the comics actually happen to be very old as well. In fact, Thanos made his first debut in the marvel comics in 1971, while sonic introduced chaos emeralds in 1991. Do more research, Dumbass.
Well the chaos emeralds can control de time, space, reality, soul energy, chaos force, and well just one emerald can control that things you can be a god whit the chaos emeralds
@@Orenji_slush you are calling me a dumbass when you barely know who I am and you don't know who you are talking to so you are the real dumbass for not doing what you said
Hey, MatPat, I wanted to give a sweet comment saying that you make my day whenever I watched your videos and including the theories that come along with it. You make me think the whole lore of games and movies because your theories have that impact on me. You don't deserve hate on your channel, people don't understand how long it takes to come up with a theory and how you're trying your best to entertain us. And thank you for making this video yesterday because I'm sick, I don't know if you can call that a bonus or not. 😊
Your imitation of Robotnik saying "I NEED THE PURPLE CHAOS EMERALD" made me crack up so bad I had to watch it twice... I don't know why it was so funny to me...
Actually you were right about the Chaos Emeralds being different beryls. In one of the issues of the Sonic Archie comics the cyan one was called an aquamarine. That must mean that they’re all types of beryls. The purple one could be a bixbite just like the red one is. Bixbite color can range from red to reddish pink to vibrant pinkish purple. It is odd having 2 of the Chaos Emeralds be bixbite, it would’ve made more sense if they kept the pink one and called it morganite instead of having a purple one.
I'm not particularly upset. But that's just me. The only problem I could find with this theory is how much he references the comics, which not only have a different continuity from the games but also have multiple continuities themselves. (In fact, another one will be starting soon since SEGA ended their partnership with Archie and now the comics are with IDW) Anyway. The examples and stuff he uses from the comics don't really bother me either since they're more used to draw parallels and make jokes than actually back up the theory. The Chaos Emeralds being quartz would still work even if he never referenced the comics.
Chaos Energy in of itself is different from regular energy. Chaos Energy has the power to transform its users, even without absorbing the gems themselves. Hell, you don't even NEED the emeralds anymore after initial exposure, as seen in the Fleetway Editions with Sonic and Super Sonic. So while the Chaos Emeralds may not be emeralds, and Quartz may be the closest IRL match, it doesn't mean they work the same way. I believe the Chaos Emeralds are called such because of their association with the Master Emerald, a gem of which is green in color, and the RIGHT shade of green; dark. The emeralds are infused with Chaos Energy, an other worldly power that, according to the Archie comics, are from an Alien Species known as the Drakons. The Emeralds are alien gems, they don't HAVE to abide by Earthly gemstones. Though I will agree that the Chaos Emeralds (except for the green one) may not be Emeralds at all.
Wait, so if all the Chaos "Emeralds" are actually quartz, then can the Master "Emerald" be naturally that big and that color? What would that imply? How would it be formed and under what conditions could, in theory, a gemstone that big be created? Can it even happen? This video just opened up more questions than answers. Well played MatPat
quartz can be very big. just think of all the fancy quartz countertops. there is also quartz baths that you can buy (provided you have a million bucks to drop and a very uncomfortable bath.)
It actually isn't. Any time he actually brings real world science into the mix, the theory isn't pointless. I'd say all the pure story theories like the G-Man one are, but the ones like this where he teaches you something from the real world, have a spot-on point. Those of us who didn't know why quartz is used in electronics before, now do. Plus we know about gem families, and the value of at least one gem. And anyone looking to get into nuclear physics or the running of a nuclear power plant now knows what to do with some of that radioactive waste. Store some quartz in the same room and wait a while. Dig it back up, let the radiation half lives expire, and BOOM! You or your descendants could be rich. Real world alchemy, yo.
Maybe he can also research 4 years of engineering study in less than a week for me, after your logic matt patt can do everything within a week. But in reality what he is talking about is very bland and basic all the engineering stuff he is talking about is learn at the start of the first year.
Well when he refers to minerals as "rocks", and uses non-geological jargon such as "gem stones" and "stones", he's not the greatest teacher you could use lmao! ~Earth Science 2nd Year University Student
There're a handful of smaller youtubers who already do that. Hell, I'm waiting for them to point out the flaws in the "original stories" he mentioned here.
Except that in issues 124-125, they state that emeralds were formed by beryllium deposits that absorbed the radiation from alien weapons of mass destruction specifically tuned to the human genome, that same radiation giving rise to the evolution of the Mobians. Also, canonically in the comics, there are more than 7 emeralds, including super emeralds (which make in appearance in Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles) But that 7 is all that's really needed to make them work.
SonicMasterPrime Your name makes this waaaaay better but, I don't believe the comics are game canonical, and read MatPats comment for his clarification
I'm calling them from now on chaos emerald, chaos heliodor, chaos aquamarine, chaos maxixe, chaos red beryl, chaos (not available) purple beryl and chaos crystal
morganite can be a more deep purple. Its just rare. now here is where it gets spooky and a bit "mystical" emeralds have a very unique atomic alignment just look up an X-ray diffraction image of the mineral. Then look up the ancient symbol for light and the Universe called the Merkaba. Coincidence probably but imagine if you where able to get gemstone so perfect and so carefully cut that every atom is in perfect alignment, we have no idea what it could do in real life but i have strange theory that deep in the strange quantum field, energy exists in a higher state, but is so high it basically is just nothingness but also ...well everything-ness and is looking for a way to stablize since its in CHOAS as state of eternal flux in which eveything and nothing can happen all at once. IF this theory is true my hypotheses is that this perfect alignment of atoms may actually act as some kind of subatomic quantum lighting rod. Bringing this "endless" energy from that plane to our more stabilized plane. In short i think mankind could some how make REAL Chaos Emeralds, and man wouldn't that be impressive.
In the Archie Sonic Comics, there is a universe opposite to Sonic's called Moebius. Instead of Chaos Emeralds, it has gems with similar powers called Anarchy Beryl.
1. I think the reason they call them emeralds is because the first chaos emerald is green, and the rest are identical despite their colours. 2. I was following Sonic X’s origin that Mobius is Earth’s parallel dimension. (Now I’m not sure if I should stick to that…)
MatPat, its a game series about anthropomorphic animals stopping a fat man with a mustache from taking over the world. I say if they wanna call them emeralds, let 'em
Matpat: Chaos emeralds are not emeralds! The game: You play as a blue hedgehog who runs faster than light and has a addiction with chili dogs who has a enemy named Dr. eggman who has robot minions and a egg ship.
Florence B I'm sorry I can't enjoy Steven universe due to the fact that feminists and gender rage endured idiots use it as a base to use their theories of gender fluidity

Master Emerald is not a chaos emerald, but rather a master control emerald that can be used to contain and control the chaos emeralds.
Oh ok thanks
I mean, chaos emerald could be like a nickname like how no one ever calls dogs or cats by their scientific names
Chris A Ovi Kintobor does. (Look what he called Sonic.)
Chris A but chaos crystals have a catchier name
MatPat retiring made me go back and watch all his theories. This was the first one I ever watched so this one holds a significance in my life because it led me to subscribe and now I’ve been watching MatPat’s videos for 6 years now.
th e
Theirs seven he only has six
They must be a kind of diamond 💎
I didn’t watch the whole video when I made it
I never seen a white infinity ♾ stone before
And Robotnik is SEGA's version of Thanos
Golden Legacy oof
Since you like gems so much Matpat, you should watch and do a film theory on Steven Universe
Actually, Red Beryl does have a name, it's called Bixbite.
that sounds like a cereal brand or something
@@interneteditor5258 lmao 🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂
The fact that the Quartz clock was named bc it was powered by the gemstone is the most mind-blowing one ever
"Dragon balls give you super powers..." no MatPat they grant wishes
Wishes can give super powers. Like the wishes in canon can't like directly raise your power but people were wishing for immortality which is definitely a super power. you could probably wish to turn invis or fly (if you couldnt with ki) as well. the balls definitely can give super powers.
Sapphire i agree, but MatPat made it sound like they directly give superpowers. It could've been worded better imo.
but the wish they say coooould give them a super power... or an upgrade... even Roblox backs tht up.
Blue J I didn't make this correction because anything that ends in"grants wishes" sounds stupid and not worth saying.
Incorrect quote. He said, "dragon balls CAN give you super powers."
4:07, funny that emeralds are in the beryl family because in the archie comics, the anti-sonic known as scourge uses a version called anarchy beryl. I always wonder why it was called that, now I know.
The more you know
wow someone also recognize this
So, I guess you could say...
The Chaos Emeralds are BERYLY even emeralds.
Kaisburg XD
Kaisburg They're not even Berely emeralds, they're quartz
BTW, I got the joke
Kaisburg leave now
Ace Hearts agreed
That comment was a true gem.
Matpat:quartz is an earth ore
Me that thinks quartz is from nether in minecraft:MY LIFE IS A LIE
I'm starting to kinda see a pattern here...
Undertale: "7 human souls to do what every NPC in the game wants to happen"
dragon ball Z: "7 dragon balls to acquire ultimate power"
Sonic: "7 shiny rocks to become very powerful"
7 is just a Japanese lucky number,and sonic was made in Japan.Sonic the fighters had 8,sonic 1 had 6.
Paper Mario, 7 Star Spirits to defeat Bowser
Paper Mario TTYD, 7 Crystal Stars to Open the Thousand Year Door
7 is the number of perfection. (it really is)
*_D A M N FOURTH CHAOS EMERALD_*
I dont get it
What
Morty Pressed ...what is the joke
Shadow says that in a sonic game for kids. People get triggered because "damn" is apparently a swear word.
in the game shadow the hedgehog shadow ends up saying this line and puts waaaay to much emphasis on the damn
I really wonder who thought of a blue hedgehog who runs at the speed of sound, a fox who has two tails and can fly.
*Props to to you.*
??idk
Uh Sega duh
Sega
Silly Filly Willy Billy
XDTOMMYXD8 it's Sega
The real question is how
matpat: can the Chaos emerald be beryl !?
Archie comics: ur theory confirmed
Nope, Robotnik just painted them.
Mr. UA-cam laughing so hard right now
*THEORY DEBUNKED*
That's what i wanted to say!!! xd
Nah the reason its in different colors is because it represents gay rights.
but not why, but how, ova loaf
One problem with this theory. The Archie comics mention that all the different colors come from different planets other than mobius. The one that does come from mobius is green.
An oversight, perhaps, but how does it affect the conclusion? Quartz is made of very common elements and is likely to occur on other planets. There's quartz on Mars, for instance.
ThetaReactor It debunks his theory because they're still emeralds that's why. We're not talking about Mars Quartz, we're talking about Emeralds.
+SuperManBoy1
But the video already explains why they cannot be emeralds. Emeralds don't come in purple. That colour simply doesn't exist, on any planet.
TopicWott emeralds don't just happen to be different colors on different planets dude. Also i doubt those comics are canon lol.
TopicWott actually that may prove even more why the green chaos emerald is made of radioactive green quarts along with the master emerald
Ima get me 7 colored quartz a compressor and 50+ neodymium rings
if you get rid of the word emeralds , you end up with “The Chaos”.
that means its chaos to think about this when you’re trying to sleep .
:0
so it,s just chaos '''''''like me'''''''
No their not emeralds... But in Japan were the game was developed the term emerald is used as a blanket term for any stone of gem quality like how in Texas the word coke is use a blanket term for any soft drink.
Taylor Bodeman Woah... thats makes sense...
Lukasz Dluzak. I'm glad I could help.
why dont you have any likes?
Blue Flame . don't worry about it. I also learned that dragon balls don't make you go super sayan
The only reason the dragon balls dont make you a super saiyan is because..........no one wished for it
If he likes gems stones so much, why does he never mention Steven Universe?
Edit: The reason this video existed in the first place... That's why...
We are the crystal gems
And we always save the day
And if u think we cant
We'll always find a way
I MISS THAT SHOW 😭
I mean this is a universe where hedgehogs can be blue foxes can have two tails and fly and a 280 pound man can run 60miles per hour so is it unreasonable to say there could be purple beryl? I dont know
11:13 if u see it u can't unsee it
That's a bad shape just saying I have a dirty mind
I'm almost sure that was done on purpose. The pivot of the rotation is right at the base of the shaft xD
@@Broockle XD
Oh, I know what you want to do with that, 😂
I'm having trouble seeing it
Peni
Hey matpat, I know it seemed unpopular at the time, but do you think you could try bringing back matpat's final thoughts for an episode? Just to see if people start liking it again?
This is when he recaps the theory and what the fans thought about it, right?
X naM ageM Reversed I don't know if you know this but he mentioned in a video that the reason he stopped was that people heard the summary start and stopped the video, affecting his statistics. I can't remember the video, but I hope that helps :)
The Game Theorists plz no
FAKE GT
Or... you could try asking him about the new character Infinite from Sonic Forces.
My rock nerd heart has been satisfied! Finally, a rock episode! Thank you, MatPat! :D
2besties Its a mineral.
except for that pyrite-gold misrepresentation.
2besties I can only imagine... good for you on knowing rocks and i assume minerals XD
Rock fetish?
Just kidding... plz don't hurt me..
Fun fact, classic sonic has black eyes and in super has green eyes,hmmmm.... Reminds me of something
the chaos "emeralds" are the infinty stones of the sonic universe
Just by that comment you’re going to make me think of a fan movie called Sega infinity war The sonic characters would be the Avengers and the other series’s would be the X-Men and guardians of the galaxy
Marvel has ripped of Sega!
@@eleniaslaundaglu4650 Dumbass. You do realize that the comics actually happen to be very old as well. In fact, Thanos made his first debut in the marvel comics in 1971, while sonic introduced chaos emeralds in 1991. Do more research, Dumbass.
Well the chaos emeralds can control de time, space, reality, soul energy, chaos force, and well just one emerald can control that things you can be a god whit the chaos emeralds
@@Orenji_slush you are calling me a dumbass when you barely know who I am and you don't know who you are talking to so you are the real dumbass for not doing what you said
Hey, MatPat, I wanted to give a sweet comment saying that you make my day whenever I watched your videos and including the theories that come along with it. You make me think the whole lore of games and movies because your theories have that impact on me. You don't deserve hate on your channel, people don't understand how long it takes to come up with a theory and how you're trying your best to entertain us. And thank you for making this video yesterday because I'm sick, I don't know if you can call that a bonus or not. 😊
Your imitation of Robotnik saying "I NEED THE PURPLE CHAOS EMERALD" made me crack up so bad I had to watch it twice... I don't know why it was so funny to me...
Keep in mind that for the chaos emeralds, when they’re all combined into the master emerald it does turn green
the master emerald isn't all of the chaos emeralds combined. that's only in the movie.
Well Apparently, Using the Sonic 1 Debug, You can find Unused Items used in Early versions and one of them is a Super Sonic TV box...
that was from the mobile port as far as i know and it was from sonic 2 and was put in sonic 1 i think though you may be right
Congratulations, you're my science teacher now
I am so proud of him dude
lol same XD
I wish he was
i wish
That moment when you learn more in a game theory video than over 700 hours in a science lab.
how... I watched this yesterday, but this vid says 3 hours ago??? I CAN SEE INTO THE FUTURE!!!!!!!!
The Mask Player Why you always lying?
Rion Wilson I guess you could say you're a "link to the future"?
Rion Wilson i swear i saw it in my notifs last night....
It got reuploaded. Probably some asshat trying to copyright strike it.
Same
Actually you were right about the Chaos Emeralds being different beryls. In one of the issues of the Sonic Archie comics the cyan one was called an aquamarine. That must mean that they’re all types of beryls. The purple one could be a bixbite just like the red one is. Bixbite color can range from red to reddish pink to vibrant pinkish purple. It is odd having 2 of the Chaos Emeralds be bixbite, it would’ve made more sense if they kept the pink one and called it morganite instead of having a purple one.
And...Game Theorists has found a NEW way to make Sonic Fans upset.
Thanks for Watching lol...
Robert Loyale That, my friend, is not a hard thing to do.
I mean, honestly, that's not a very hard thing to do.
Yeah, I know right!
I'm not particularly upset. But that's just me.
The only problem I could find with this theory is how much he references the comics, which not only have a different continuity from the games but also have multiple continuities themselves. (In fact, another one will be starting soon since SEGA ended their partnership with Archie and now the comics are with IDW)
Anyway. The examples and stuff he uses from the comics don't really bother me either since they're more used to draw parallels and make jokes than actually back up the theory. The Chaos Emeralds being quartz would still work even if he never referenced the comics.
Sonic Fans are easier to trigger than SJWs
ok, now you need to calculate how much quartz you would need to store the power necessary to power a doomsday laser
The Mechanic4games. Yes please
The Mechanic4games too many.

I smell a part 2
For a friend
Or maybe...
ITS JUST A DESIGN CHOICE XD
ripple in time a game theory!
Tropic Maybe
Tropic I don't think you are on the right channel
lol
Tropic hi Tropic! I am one of your subscribers!!!
Chaos Energy in of itself is different from regular energy.
Chaos Energy has the power to transform its users, even without absorbing the gems themselves.
Hell, you don't even NEED the emeralds anymore after initial exposure, as seen in the Fleetway Editions with Sonic and Super Sonic.
So while the Chaos Emeralds may not be emeralds, and Quartz may be the closest IRL match, it doesn't mean they work the same way.
I believe the Chaos Emeralds are called such because of their association with the Master Emerald, a gem of which is green in color, and the RIGHT shade of green; dark.
The emeralds are infused with Chaos Energy, an other worldly power that, according to the Archie comics, are from an Alien Species known as the Drakons. The Emeralds are alien gems, they don't HAVE to abide by Earthly gemstones.
Though I will agree that the Chaos Emeralds (except for the green one) may not be Emeralds at all.
Wait, so if all the Chaos "Emeralds" are actually quartz, then can the Master "Emerald" be naturally that big and that color? What would that imply? How would it be formed and under what conditions could, in theory, a gemstone that big be created? Can it even happen? This video just opened up more questions than answers. Well played MatPat
quartz can be very big. just think of all the fancy quartz countertops. there is also quartz baths that you can buy (provided you have a million bucks to drop and a very uncomfortable bath.)
The Chaos Emeralds aren't really emeralds?
*OH NO*
Cris Lie its just a theory a pointless theory thnx for the views
Gyrazal618 playz stuff how is it pointless?
Can we forget about the "quartz" a bit and see that he used a meme? :V
It actually isn't. Any time he actually brings real world science into the mix, the theory isn't pointless. I'd say all the pure story theories like the G-Man one are, but the ones like this where he teaches you something from the real world, have a spot-on point. Those of us who didn't know why quartz is used in electronics before, now do. Plus we know about gem families, and the value of at least one gem.
And anyone looking to get into nuclear physics or the running of a nuclear power plant now knows what to do with some of that radioactive waste. Store some quartz in the same room and wait a while. Dig it back up, let the radiation half lives expire, and BOOM! You or your descendants could be rich. Real world alchemy, yo.
I am surprised that this thread isn't all "OH NO".
Just started doing geology at college, but who needs a professional teacher when u got Mat to teach u 😂😂
Ty Hill I mean Mat isn't qualified because he's not a professional. But he can do research.
Maybe he can also research 4 years of engineering study in less than a week for me, after your logic matt patt can do everything within a week. But in reality what he is talking about is very bland and basic all the engineering stuff he is talking about is learn at the start of the first year.
Alex Bogatu I know mate... I'm doing engineering as well 😂😂
Well when he refers to minerals as "rocks", and uses non-geological jargon such as "gem stones" and "stones", he's not the greatest teacher you could use lmao!

the fourth chaos emerald is purple or pink I think.

We *_need_* more Sonic theories, Mat!
Darkky Chan No we don't. His last one was wrong and easily debunked. His rules about what to include when it comes to Game Theories are inconsistent.
LlegoBubba PSN regardless we need more
Darkky Chan You have 3 of the top 4 comments, wtf
There're a handful of smaller youtubers who already do that. Hell, I'm waiting for them to point out the flaws in the "original stories" he mentioned here.
No, the fanbase is the worst
Except that in issues 124-125, they state that emeralds were formed by beryllium deposits that absorbed the radiation from alien weapons of mass destruction specifically tuned to the human genome, that same radiation giving rise to the evolution of the Mobians. Also, canonically in the comics, there are more than 7 emeralds, including super emeralds (which make in appearance in Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles) But that 7 is all that's really needed to make them work.
SonicMasterPrime Your name makes this waaaaay better but, I don't believe the comics are game canonical, and read MatPats comment for his clarification
Also Matpat is not really taking about the mysteriously infinite nature of the Phantom Ruby
And sometimes canon does not line up with science.
Where's that DAMN fourth Chaos Emerald?!

I can't get that DAMN fourth chaos emerald

9:29 not to ship characters BUT Y’ALL SLEEPING ON OMEGAZE
I'm calling them from now on chaos emerald, chaos heliodor, chaos aquamarine, chaos maxixe, chaos red beryl, chaos (not available) purple beryl and chaos crystal
The Mighty Someone Just doesn't roll off the tongue...
Wouldn't it just be all called Chaos Beryl? Since he said that Beryl in general was closer to being Chaos Emeralds than the others?
or you know you could just call it quartz
morganite can be a more deep purple. Its just rare.
now here is where it gets spooky and a bit "mystical"
emeralds have a very unique atomic alignment just look up an X-ray diffraction image of the mineral.
Then look up the ancient symbol for light and the Universe called the Merkaba.
Coincidence probably but imagine if you where able to get gemstone so perfect and so carefully cut that every atom is in perfect alignment, we have no idea what it could do in real life but i have strange theory that deep in the strange quantum field, energy exists in a higher state, but is so high it basically is just nothingness but also ...well everything-ness and is looking for a way to stablize since its in CHOAS as state of eternal flux in which eveything and nothing can happen all at once.
IF this theory is true my hypotheses is that this perfect alignment of atoms may actually act as some kind of subatomic quantum lighting rod.
Bringing this "endless" energy from that plane to our more stabilized plane.
In short i think mankind could some how make REAL Chaos Emeralds, and man wouldn't that be impressive.
PTSDSquirrel This is literally one of the coolest things I've ever read in the UA-cam Comments section :O
In the Archie Sonic Comics, there is a universe opposite to Sonic's called Moebius. Instead of Chaos Emeralds, it has gems with similar powers called Anarchy Beryl.
I was thinking the exact same thing while watching this. I guess they knew all along.
"Anarchy Beryl?" Oh jeez, that name absolutely screams "fanfic."
After realising red beryl is more rare than diamond
Minecratf: :I
To be honest Ruby's are my favorite gemstone
@@avw5kt It was for a short bit, but it was replaced by Emeralds. Emeralds are also the rarest gem in the game, not including trading.
Breh XD
1. I think the reason they call them emeralds is because the first chaos emerald is green, and the rest are identical despite their colours.
2. I was following Sonic X’s origin that Mobius is Earth’s parallel dimension. (Now I’m not sure if I should stick to that…)
6:00 Ironically, the Anarchy Beryls are all green.
MatPat, its a game series about anthropomorphic animals stopping a fat man with a mustache from taking over the world. I say if they wanna call them emeralds, let 'em
You could say something similar about most of the games he theorises about
Lonly Wanderer true
Lonly Wanderer or most video game franchises in general.
Or maybe they just have a different name for things since aliens apparently nuked earth back into the Eoarchean Era at some point.
lol yep.
