Well with Opal, it's that neither of them really like being fused together, perhaps since Lapis wants to keep in fused form, it's difficult for Jasper to break out, you can see that as Malachite is being dragged into the ocean, their head does start to split apart a bit before reforming as one. So while they're not stable, Lapis is pretty clearly trying to hold the form together.
