This is my first thread on this wiki! It's just a basic idea of why Ruby and Sapphire stayed fused as Garnet when Alexandrite (and Sugilite) defused. See, if Ruby, Sapphire, Amethyst, and Pearl fuse together as Alexandrite, when Alexandrite defuses, she'd split into Ruby, Sapphire, Amethyst, and Pearl (the same gems she was fused as). If Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl fuse together as Alexandrite, she'd split back into Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl. While Garnet is composed of Ruby and Sapphire, they were fused together when Garnet fused to create Alexandrite.

Here's another example of the situation:

If Amethyst and Pearl were fused as Opal and needed to create Alexandrite with Garnet, Alexandrite would split back out into Opal and Garnet, not Ruby, Sapphire, Amethyst, and Pearl individually.

Another example:

Sugilite and Pearl fusing would still create Alexandrite, but if Alexandrite defused, she'd split into Sugilite and Pearl. NOT the four individual gems that make her.

Hope this made enough sense to become a thread and I wasn't too confusing.
