What I wonder is how exactly the TYPE of gem is determined...are there natural garnets or are garnets only formed when sapphires and rubies fuse? And if a sapphire and ruby fuse, will it ALWAYS be a garnet? If say...a malachite gem was found and mined, would it be a fusion of two gems by default or be it's own malachite?
