well i don't think gems were always programmed according to white diamond's system, so them having pre-programmed names for fusions makes sense to me

but to be sure of this we'd have to know the origin of gems i̶ ̶s̶w̶e̶a̶r̶ ̶i̶f̶ ̶i̶t̶s̶ ̶s̶n̶e̶o̶p̶l̶e̶ ̶i̶m̶ ̶g̶o̶n̶n̶a̶ ̶c̶o̶m̶m̶i̶t̶ ̶s̶h̶a̶t̶t̶e̶r̶e̶d̶ ̶g̶e̶m̶s̶t̶o̶n̶e̶

as for the real world chemistry thing, ruby and sapphire are color varieties of the same rock in real life and play completely different roles in the show so 🤷

honestly i don't think this subject will ever matter to the show because i don't think it will ever come up, but if they were to introduce the fusion of say, rhodonite and padparadscha, i'm pretty certain they'd have it be a sardonyx and not something else
