I feel as though Garnet is a fusion gem of Ruby and Sapphire but not in a traditional way. I believe if it happened it was after the gem war and both were damaged and most likely cracked in battle at which point Rose attempted to heal them using her tears which resulted in the strange fusion gem of Garnet. Having only two arms and three eyes may suggest that the fusion is incomplete or corrupted because both gems were damaged at the moment of fusion.

Atleast, that's how i'v been looking at it.
