I saw someone theorize that Rose might be PART of a matriarch. Like, what if the Matriarchs are actually fusions of many of one type of Gem to account for why they're so large.
Agreed about the concept of gems fusing with different gems. Maybe after Garnet fused they decided to experiment with it and, finding that fusions of different were stronger than single gems, started doing the artificial fusions of broken gems to possibly use them as tools of war. Also, if Yellow Diamond did rise to power, maybe that's what lead to the advancement of Gem technology.
On a different but Lapis-related note, I'm wondering if we'll get backstory on what she was doing on Earth in the first place since I've heard she's in the next episode. I think it's safe to say she participated in the Gem Rebellion we just don't know why. It clearly wasn't for the sake of Earth since she says "I never believed in this planet."
