"When Steven and Amethyst formed Smoky Quartz, their name is pulled from Amethyst's memory. However, the implication that the name had been used when Amethyst fused with Rose Quartz does not mean that the two fusions are the same."

I don't believe there is anything explicitly confirming that Rose and Amethyst have fused before. Some have interpreted Smoky's line " Oh yeah, who am I now?  I feel like Amethyst knows this [...]  I think a Rose Quartz, and an Amethyst make a...Smoky Quartz" to mean that Smoky was drawing on Amethyst's knowledge of fusion with other gems to identify what an Amethyst and a Rose Quartz would make given their gem properties and how they combine. Otherwise, Smoky probably would have just known what their name is. I mean think about it, how do fusions know what their names are to begin with? It's quite possible fusions such as Garnet had to sit down at some point and think about what their two gems form when combined. I find it difficult to believe that gem fusions just know what fusion they are, which is why to me it makes perfect sense that Smoky had to figure out what fusion they make. And sense Steven had never fused with a gem before, and isn't entirely a gem himself, he may not necessarily know how to figure out what a Rose Quartz and an Amethyst would make, which is why Smoky had to rely on Amethyst's knowledge. So really, the opposite conclusion could be drawn, that Rose and Amethyst never fused at any point. Either way, the article is making an assumption here and I think it should be changed or removed.
