For a few frames, as Garnet was about to warp the bubbled fusion experiment back to the Crystal Temple, the gem shards seemed to melt together into a single gemstone. Some people thought it was an animation error, others thought it might be deliberate foreshadowing.

Sardonyx is a mineral made of of microscopic quartz crystals, with colored bands.

The fusion experiments are made up of shards from several Gems forcibly fused together, and the fusion monsters have disjointed, patchwork colour schemes.

I remember this old theory that Jasper was some sort of Frankenstein's monster, created from the shards of fallen gems (based on her stripey colour scheme and the fact that jasper is a cryptocrystalline mineral made up of numerous microscopic crystals). Maybe that's what Sardonyx is. Maybe she's what the hand fusion experiment turns into after the shards melt together. I went back and watched that scene and you just blew my mind, I'm more amped for StevenBomb 3.0 now than ever before. this would make a lot of sense
