What makes you guys think they're used to using alexandrite? The gem's haven't really had a need to fuse during combat since Rose was around. When they did fuse, they all fused together and formed the temple fusion. Alexandrite might seem chaotic but with Rose in the mix im pretty sure the result was a much more stable fusion. Alexandrite was more of another example as to how lost the CG are without her. I guarantee in the thousands of years that they've been alive, they haven't used Alexandrite more than 10 times. All the gems were scared okay, pearl and amythest can barely keep Opal together when they're a little surprised (I forgot the beetle; steven's here). Pearl said that fusion is pretty difficult and I'm pretty sure that the only reason Sugilite was able to stay fused so long was because Garnet is just a master at fusion.
