After looking back over the Pilot, the pilot version of the temple clearly has 5 Gems in it, a bluish white gem in the head (pearl's), a purple gem in the chest (Amethyst), a pink gem in the stomach (Rose Quartz), a dark red gem in the left hand (Garnet) and a light blue gem in the right (blue garnet or topaz?). Now this is interesting because the hand gems are clearly Garnet's gems, now in the series, her gems on both hands are the same color, clearly its different in the pilot's temple.

This can mean one of three things. One, Garnet simply had 2 gems of different colors in the original. Two, there was another gem making six in total, who likely had Topaz (light blue gem). Or three, Garnet fused with another gem, likely the previous 6th gem, granting her the power of two gems and her 3rd eye, the only difference being, this was permanent.

Now there is nothing in the series that supports this besides the fact that Garnet has two different colored eyes, a blue right eye, and a red left eye (as seen in Arcade Mania). Why does she have two colored eyes? Does she have built in 3D vision? Now upon further research, there is such a thing as BLUE garnet, a rare type of garnet that exists and is entirely blue when most Garnet is deep red. So what exactly happened to allow her to have two gems? The likely hood of it being explained any time soon is, well, unlikely. However now that we know blue garnet exists (IRL) and that a blue gem stone is clearly seen in the temple's right hand in the pilot on top of Garnet having a blue right eye, we have reason to believe another gem existed or at least, Garnet has a blue side only seen in her eye.
