To answer directly, they become a completely different gem.

This has been one of the most frequently asked, and confusing questions about Steven Universe, and out of curiosity and what the show has told us. The most realistic way that I imagine fusion comes from playing an instrument. I play Violin in an orchestra, and while daydreaming (thinking about SU) I realized that each section is like a person, and we all come together to make one big song. Technically, we are kind of controlling the output of the overall song (which has been exhibited by Ruby in Garnet, and Lapis in Malachite) but the orchestra is not like a bunch of different sounds, but one big sound. The 'musical fusion' can fall apart if the sections aren't together, or in harmony, which is exactly what fusion is. I hoped this helped, and please ask more questions! I love answering questions!
