I am currently running a PBP dungeon crawl campaign on another board, and one of my players is playing a Mineralite (From the Crystal Planet players guide by Fat Goblin games, basically think the gems from Steven Universe, who are presented as half construct monstrous humanoids). My party is about to run into a Basilisk, and my Mineralite wondered if their character can be petrified at all.
So can they? I have two ways I could run with this. Now, if you don't know the show, the gems are... well they are gems. They are gemstones who can project a humanoid body made of light and photons that looks like a person. So obviously getting turned to stone wont work like normal. So either it doesn't work at all, or it does something else to them (Forces them back into their gem, somehow immobilizes them, or something like that).
So how should I go about handling this?

The basilik's entry specifies its gaze acts as flesh to stone, and that spell's entry specifies
Only creatures made of flesh are affected by this spell.
So they're immune to it, even if they're potentially susceptible to some other, non-flesh-to-stone-based form of petrification.
