Let's take a look at the two of the fusions we know- Garnet and Opal: http://imgur.com/VlSvDpO

As we know Amethyst + Pearl = Opal and Ruby + Sapphire = Garnet. Garnet and Pearl both lack the pupil trait as does Ruby but I'm willing to bet that her eye(s) are more like the rest of the characters. The image also highlights Jasper's eyes are more similar to Garnet and Opal's rather than Pearl and Amethyst. Jasper shares many traits with a Dual Gem Fusion. Most notably, She has pupils and she's taller than Garnet (A dual gem fusion).

Also, Malachite is portrayed to be a Dual Gem Fusion Jasper + Lapis Lazuli. Malachite is very dissimilar to other dual gem fusions. For starters, Malachite is very large compared to Opal and Garnet. So if Malachite is truly a Dual Gem Fusion, Malachite has broken many of the established trends within gem fusions.

(A lot of this text is taken from a reddit post, just edited together and slightly condensed.) Also, Malchite has 3 pairs of "arms"... :V
