hehe, (like quartz and sapphire) garnets can be almost any color! which includes a shade that looks almost like ruby.

As for weapon... maybe it's like Sugilite and Opal? Both use a single weapon that combines traits of their individual weapons. Maybe Garnet's gloves are actually two weapons in one? I'm guessing at least one of the two involved punching, maybe the other involved throwing stars?
