Of course they could be new Gems, but I'll hope for Garnet's components. Would be cool. Would also raise several questions regarding the difference in Garnet's appearance compared to that of the other fusion gems we've seen. Picturing Ruby and Sapphire as tiny one-armed gems now. I've read some intersting hypotheses regarding this theory. One is that one or both of Garnet's component gems were severly damanged. Maybe they were somehow isolated from Rose and couldn't get to her in time for healing, so they only way they could survive was to stay fused permanently. Another is that after Garnet became the dominate persona, she gained complete control over her shape-shifting abilities, downsizing herself and losing two arms for the sake of convenience. Maybe Garnet's "true form" is much bigger with an additional two arms. She keeps the third eye due to future vision. Hmm, that would explain how she was able to enlarge her arms and overpower Amethyst and Pearl so easily in Secret Team. Theory's starting to grow on me.
