I dunno, seems more like a design choice than a hint at being a fusion. I mean, she hates fusion gems and seems too unstable to settle down with a life-time partner (unless both partners were unstable?). Malachite was powerful because both Lapis and Jasper were already really powerful and due to not being compatable at all, they came off as monsterous. The better the couple is, the more human they look. Malachite could only be a horrible monster.

Good observation, but not enough to support it.
