Sega may not be the gaming powerhouse it once was, but SONIC will forever be a classic video game hero. But despite the loving nostalgia I hold for Sonic, his games don’t always make the most sense. Chaos Emeralds, for example, are one of the more ridiculous aspects of any gaming franchise. Or are they? The idea behind chaos emeralds is that they’re powerful battery-like rocks. As crazy as that sounds, it’s a lot closer to reality than you might think!

[@GameTheory]

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... ;)

[@shanecarroll8942]

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.

[@ShonicBurn]

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.

[@shanecarroll8942]

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.

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.

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.

[@eddiesoto-ramirez3493]

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.

[@Rayhero]

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.

[@lezlue2273]

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.

11:33 that is not a radiation warning. That sign was for a bio-hazard warning (nitpicking at its' best)

I'm pretty sure if it's not showing ownership, "its" doesn't need an apostrophe. Nitpicking at its finest.

The chaos emeralds might be emeralds but the chaos energy is turning them into different colors OR in mobius emeralds are different colors

[@IcyWingsLetsPlays]

Can we forget about the "quartz" a bit and see that he used a meme? :V

[@o-mangaming5042]

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.

[@orlandolopez4608]

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

[@conaireparsons9672]

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.)

[@liv4729]

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. 😊

[@mysticalgamr2127]

Is the master emerald a chaos emerald or just a control to them?

[@smh9902]

Master Emerald is not a chaos emerald, but rather a master control emerald that can be used to contain and control the chaos emeralds.

[@mysticalgamr2127]

Oh ok thanks

[@themightysomeone9604]

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

[@shaneyy__]

The Mighty Someone Just doesn't roll off the tongue...

[@fardfox]

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?

[@forfancyssake7485]

or you know you could just call it quartz

[@PTSDSquirrel]

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.

[@stellarisfreak878]

it's ironic that the most powerful chaos emerald is also the only one that is actually an emerald

[@Mike-mf3ed]

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…)
