Not too sure if this is a bug or not but heres what i found

If playing in sandbox (or regular play, but the sandbox way is more duplicable) on the first pick of the dice, if you upgrade your chances to maximum, then place your gems, you will likely get one of the two chipped combo gems (malachite or silver). But! if you happen to get a perfect gem as well (I found that ruby perfects seem to work most often) sometimes it will say "combine" when you select the perfect gem. if you do in fact combine it, the result is a great gem. which more often than not is better in the long run (esp for survival/sandbox)

Is this a bug? or is this legit? it also works with other gems, not necessarily perfects (perfect just happens to combine into a great however) and gives the next level gem (flawless into perfect, etc.)

Unfortunately every time i have done this, i have been to excited to see which gem the perfect is combining with, but most of the time there is no other gem of that color, or nature (type or size, if you will) i shall edit when i do it again, and tell what 2 gems specifically i combined.

Edit: (yes that was quick i know.)
well i did it, but not with a perfect. heres some pics they are from the same game.

Gem 1: (normal aqua)

I shall keep trying for a great in this manner...
