I think the main reason why Malachite is formed like that, is because she wasn't fused probably, or her counterparts weren't made for each other.

Lapis and Jasper despised each other, yes, we know .-. and because of their "relationship", they weren't fused as good as Opal, or Garnet.

Plus, their dance lasted 5 seconds, the fusions we've seen lasted a minimum of 20 seconds. To be fair, Alexandrite's fusion dance lasted shorter than 20 seconds, given the length of time Steven and Connie were on the bus, they have to realize they're missing first.

Also Garnet, Malachite, Stevonnie, and Sugilite are the only fusion dances we've seen on screen (the failed fusion dance in Giant Woman doesn't count).

And Garnet's fusion dance lasted under 20 seconds.
