Yeah, gemstones do increase in size when gems fuse, Jasper's gem looked big on Malachite, and I recall Garnet (Ruby and Sapphire), Amethyst, and Pearl's gems looking bigger on their fusions. So, yeah, gemstones do, I think it's to better proportion the gem sizes to for the fusion, like, if the gemstones stayed the same size, they'll look silly on the fusion (like if Jasper and Lapis' gems stayed the same size on Malachite, Lapis' gem would just be a tiny thing on Malachite's back and Jasper's gem would be a tiny thing sitting on top of an actual nose or on a noseless face, like a tiny nose. And same with the Crystal Gem fusions, their gems would just be tiny things on Garnet (counting Garnet because, she's a fusion and Ruby and Sapphire are still members of the Crystal Gems, they're just Garnet 24/7), Opal, Sugilite, Alexandrite, and Sardonyx. So, it's all done for size proportion).
