— Bejeweled Twist, mouseover description

Supernova Gem is a type of Special Gem that appears in the Bejeweled series that was first appeared in Bejeweled Twist. It is a basic type of gem surrounded by bristling white-hot energy as a combined appearance of a Flame Gem and either a Lightning Gem (in Bejeweled Twist and Bejeweled Blitz LIVE) or Star Gem (in Bejeweled 3). The 3's version of the Supernova Gem has a noticeable blue tint to its flame.

Overview

It is created when six or more gems are matched in a row, which is possible through cascades (Matches that create additional matches) and is also possible created by player matches in Bejeweled 3 with certain techniques (which was proven by various YouTube users). When detonated, it explodes in a 3x3 radius as well as its rows and columns.

While creating this Special Gem is mostly luck-based, it is possible to create this Special Gem at the player's will with the "matchless move" mechanic on Bejeweled Twist and Bejeweled Blitz LIVE at a risk of reducing the Chain Meter and/or the Score Multiplier (when available) and consuming time especially on either of the Blitz modes.

Trivia

A supernova is the explosion of a very large star, in which that the star may reach a maximum intrinsic luminosity one billion times that of the Sun.

In Bejeweled Twist; if the player matches this gem on Arsenal, it counts as both creating a Flame Gem and a Lightning Gem. It also appears in Enigma's eclipse, challenging the player to detonate as many of these as possible in 3 minutes.

The Bejeweled Twist and Bejeweled Blitz LIVE variant of the Supernova Gem has bright, orange concentric solid circles that expand outwards from the gem itself.

In Bejeweled Stars, a six-gem match instead creates a Darksphere. The Supernova Gem is no longer included. Its effect (explode in a 3x3 radius as well its rows and columns) can be recreated by swapping two star gems.
