Pearl has stated that she started sword training when she was “Only a few thousand years old when she began fighting alongside Rose Quartz” as though that was a young age for her. We can assume that her relative gem age was similar to the age of Connie, if not younger, considering she stated this when Connie asked to start Sword Training.

A few thousand years is, at the least, 3000 years, considering if it were less, she could have said a”a couple thousand” or “a thousand”.



Peridot has stated that she was not alive for the creation and injection into the earth of the cluster, which happened roughly 5000 years before the start of the show, at the end of the war.

If we are to assume that Peridot was formed right after the end of the war and the implementation of the cluster, she would be at the most 5000 years old.

A few thousand, at the least, is roughly 3000 years, but could be anywhere from 5000 to 7000 years. Even if we assume that Pearl was on the younger side of that when she began fighting alongside Rose, and since, in the relative scheme of things, that would be roughly equivalent to Connie’s current age (12 and ½), and we assume that Peridot is at her oldest possible age of roughly 5000 years, Peridot is 17-20 in relative to human years at the most, and at the youngest, would be in a similar age to Connie.

I’m going to pull a MattPat and rip some random mathematics straight out of my asshole, but…

The average female life span is 78.7 years. Connie is 12.5 years old.

12.5/78.7 = 3000/X (78.7 x 3000 = 236,100)

12.5X = 236,100 (236,100/12.5 = 18,888)

When Pearl reaches 18,888 years of age, she will have reached the gem equivalent of an average female human being’s life span.

So, if:

12.5/78.7 = 3000/18,888

Then, how do we get Peridot’s relative age?

Like I said, at most, she is 5000 years old, and that’s only if the was “created” immediately after the War ended. We’re highballing it right now.

Some more rough maths:

X/78.7 = 5000/18,888 (5000 x 78.7 = 394,000)

394,000 = 18,888x (394,000/18,888 = 20.8)

At the very most, while highballing it, Peridot just turned 20. Until we get an exact age from the Crewniverse, she could be younger. It is very likely she is similar in age to when Pearl started sword training, 3000 years. Her Relative Gem Age to a human is anywhere between 12 and 20.
