I suspect since the fusion is being forced to stay together, the two gems won't forget their individuality. Sugilite and Garnet are very good examples of stable fusions, and even they don't entirely forget. Opal, on the other hand, can fall apart at the slightest disruption because of how poorly they mix, similar to Malachite. I also suspect eventually the two will be weakened by the strain of the forced fusion and just fall apart. On that note, even with Lapis being in her element, Jasper is more durable, and will probably recover faster and perhaps gain the upper hand against Lapis.
