I really can never take the "sard and onyx fusion" theory seriously. Ruby and Sapphire fuse so well BECAUSE THEY ARE THE SAME STONE. And guess what? GARNETS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM. You don't combine Jasper and Lapis to make Malachite. The fusion draws some concept from the source, but not in a strict geological sense.
